I just love how these stamps have the feel of bills, or paper money.

What I collect: If I have a catalogue for it, I collect it. And I have many catalogues ....

Once upon a time I was showing some stamps to a girlfriend who claimed interest in what I was collecting (I remain doubtful about that ...). We played around a bit with my UV light on various things, stamps, paper money, passports, credit cards, etc. I told her I preferred the old engraved stamps and I dug out a couple of them - first thing she said was, "they feel like money!" ha ha

Ryan, I agree. I also prefer the engraved stamps of yesteryears. I find the use of lithography or even photography on stamps make the product look cheap in comparison. The newer stamps look "less" official in my opinion.

That's why she was there Ryan. She thought you had money! ... and you knew how to use your UV light.
