Doe, I picked up the Israel print not long ago it was gifted to the LB1. As I recall the dealer had twenty or so on hand and couldn't move them. I do a search later of my EB purchases and message you the seller. Beautiful it is too. Will always be grateful to Frog for this work of Art.

The Israel print has arrived! It really IS beautiful! Thank you Firstfrog, I will always treasure this and the kindness it was sent with. You are still a mystery man to me. The bubble mailer says 'Frog' in the sender's area. The 7 (ACW series) stamps are all uncancelled. I did find a light hand stamp on the back, over the bar code, which I believe says Cairo, NY. Hmm...

Does anyone have a checklist of Szyk stamps and labels etc...? I've googled, but I have not come up with a checklist. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That's a category header - you need to click on the article title in order to bring up the full article. Here's the link to the article (note, still no listing of individual stamps in that article) - www.szyk.org/arthur-szyks-stamp-designs/Ryan

I am guessing, but as far as stamps go, he only had designs issued in Israel and Liberia? I was hoping there would be a few more odd stamps to pursue. Thank you all for digging into this with me.

As part of my Liberia collection, I have this autographed card which includes the 5 cent value of the 1949 set. Apparently he signed quite a few of these as they frequently appear on eBay.

Well I had to bring up this thread again.I found a lot of four different title pages buried in Ebay. The price was one I could not let go by so soon there will be a give away(s) of these great looking pages.If you are new here please post some of your collection.It's the easiest way to hit 50 posts.
