True value found in collection!
How valuable your collection could truly be without a inverted Jenny
Or a 1cent magenta
(Warning: stamps aren't organized at all)

You can't put a value on pleasure, enjoyment and education. Generally, children have a good sense of what really is valuable.

C.E.F.: Google (well Bing) tells "China Expeditionary Force." Ca. 1900.

It's funny cause me and my little man are the ones
that go threw the stamps and look for E.F.O's (cause we like original and odd)
My daughter was paying way more attention then I thought
So when she asked to do a video and dropped some of the info she absorbed
I couldn't believe it....true value!!

That was great! I won't bother to point out forgeries, because they are just as fun as the real ones. :)

Thanks billsey
Forgeries are welcome in our collection!
I know some of you won't agree but we like the differences,it adds character.
We have stamps that are beat up,bleached,sun faded or worse
But they all belong who knows could be a well known forger adding more of a history lesson
To the stock book :)
Its fun to spot the difference and it gives you
Something to talk about!

My 5 year old daugther collects horses ( no surprise there I guess) and she really enjoys just looking at them, I fear of course the enjoyment will fade as she gets older, but at least I tried :)

Do not despair, you have fuelled curiosity, what better gift can you give a child?
