Awesome, more stuff to buy that I don't really need. I love board games so this is a slippery slope for me

I own and "Istanbul: Letters & Seals" which is an expansion to "Istanbul" and "Thurn and Taxis". My other hobby is boardgames. I think there are 600+ games sharing space with my stamp collection.

I don't collect board games, but do purchase stamp collecting ephemera when available. I picked up this H.E. Harris stamp board game at a local stamp club for a dollar because no one else wanted it. Looks like it is not complete, but it does have the "maps" needed to play the game and the game "stamps." It can be played as is. Also envelope in the scan is very fragile. Needs repair. Easy to play. No date anywhere, but it looks l930s.

Awesome, I didn't know about any of these. I will definitely look for the Monopoly one.
