Are there any St Helena stamps celebrating either of its famous inhabitants: Napoleon, and that tortoise? Sc# 261 and 262 1971 2p Napoleon after J L David 34p Napoleon by Hippolyte Paul Delaroche (Sesquicentennial) Sc# 685 1996 Napoleon's tomb "That tortoise" escapes me at the moment, need to research. ..."Jonathan" appears not to have been shown, perhaps because he was / is just a tourist. Not mentioned in chronology, Captain James Cook stopped in there, on his way home 1771 "Fernao Lopez, abandoned there as punishment" I thought maybe of the "Robinson Crusoe" fame, but I was way off.

Thank you. None of my catalogues go that late. Nice to see Jonathan, I have more wrinkles than him.

Just going through the posts and thought I would share the first in the Atlantic album Heads Up! Lovely stamps, just ensure (If you can) the plastic protection sheet is not PVC It will irreversibly damage your stamps Source some inert plastic sheets, Polyester Film, Polyethelene, or Polypropylene.

Thank you for that but husband has bought the good ones so they don’t spoil the stamps. As you know we inherited them and are changing all the plastic to the good ones. Up to now we have used 1200 that are either not covered or in the cheap plastic covers. It is raking forever. We are also buying ones that are missing but nit the ££££. I am up to k at the moment.

Whilst going through some pdfs of The Philatelic Record, a magazine in the 1890 to early 1900s, I spotted these references to the St. Helena remainders that I thought might be of interest. They clearly weren't well received when they were sold.

I can understand the points raised, valid thoughts, now I'll be the devil's advocate, and present the alternative............the reader has to consider what group to which they belong. ![](https://i.ibb.co/X8XFTnH/SG0182a-1977-T82-70c-burning-stamps-commentary-1.jpg)
