2nd Issue

If I had really given it much thought I would have also included the $25. But, it is in a different book. Sorry!

Wow! Most Impressive --KS

G'Day Eric nice 1871 second issue mate love the diamond cancellation on the R123 ,I just have the first seven of this issue.

Those are great stamps and I can easily see how people can get addicted to them - - - - hmmmm, just like Narcotics stamps eh

Great stuff

Bujtusu

Yes, But I would hope that Narcotic Stamps don't end you up in jail. Rehab maybe but Jail No.

Have you closely examined your stamps for plate varieties, many can be found if you are lucky.

Stampmaster

stampmaster, do you realize you bumped a 2010 post?

The stamps here are normal varieties.

Hi angore, sorry I do not fully understand your posting, what do you mean "do you realize you bumped a 2010 post?"

If you mean, it was an older posting, yes I understand that.

Do you mean we are not to respond (in your words bump older posts) then why are they listed and available? They are not locked, so I thought I might be able to help in some small way. To me asking for help makes no difference if it was today or 20 years ago when it comes to stamp collecting.

Good luck.

The proper way to 'bump' a thread is to note that it is an older thread. When this is done then others, who might not notice it was 'bumped', are aware and have the proper context.

Hi Don

Understand and will do the proper way to bump in future.

On the "TOPIC" page it lists the original posting date, I figured anyone would read everything on this "TOPIC" to understand what the posting.

Thanks for the information, will follow the bump rules. I checked the rules before responding to this posting, and did not see any rules regarding responding to older posting, or bump rules.

Good luck

Stampmaster

No problems. It is not a rule but rather considered forum etiquette.
Don

Hi Don

So when I reply to one of these posting, should I start with this "BUMP RULE, RESPONDING TO AN OLDER POSTING THREAD"?

Or should I just use "OLDER THREAD"?

Sorry to take up so much of your time, but do not want to mess up again.

Stampmaster

Hi Don, again, sorry, I forgot to ask one other thing.

How old is old when responding to old posting?

Stampmaster

You can simply put 'Bumping older thread' for anything older than year (from the most recent post).
