I must have a good portion of the Famous Americans set and the Overrun Countries panes so I have a lot to do. Here is just one:

Jinkies Jeff! Those are pretty cool. I personally don't collect the sheets like that, simply because of the storage problem, but they are impressive. Especially those airmails. Priiity!

Hi Jeff
is your Dove Weather Vane spotty? I believe this was the first self-stick and the brown spotting was prevalent.

Engel's Flag Stamp Varieties Catalog is an old specialized catalogue that was printed for those Overrun Countries stamps. My copy comes from 1945 - I don't know how much of a lifespan the catalogue had after that date. It's nothing too terribly special, but I always find it fun to look for plate varieties so it's right up my alley. Ryan

The 5c West Point you've posted is, of course, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD, not the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY.

I have PILES of this material. I, of course, understand that most are so common that most wouldn't want them but I like seeing them in large multiples like this. Adds a new dimension to something so common. A different light I suppose? I'll scan more as time allows. 'Till then, enjoy.

Those self-adhesive Christmas stamps are in great shape! Almost no yellowing. I always wondered what a full sheet if those looked like!

I've always loved the design of that 1939 New York World's Fair issue. It's something to see a full sheet of them. Thanks for posting them I.L.S.
