The preliminary polling identified one article from each Volume 4 issue to compete for selection as the Forum's 2020 APS Article of Distinction. This final poll is intended to select the article which will represent the Forum as its 2020 submission to the American Philatelic Society. The article selected will be posted on the APS website's Articles of Distinction page, along with a link to our Forum. Please identify which of the four articles that you want to represent our Forum. The poll will remain open until 12:01 am October 1, 2020; results will not be displayed until the poll closes. [Note: If you are viewing this post using the "Recent Posts" function, the poll will not be visible -- to see it you must view the thread at the link provided.] |

Well, Terri ( philatelia), as I told you in a PM, I thought that the idea behind your article was really great.... it would never have occurred to me to find such a creative and interesting way to deal with those hinged, mint stamps you ended up with. It was a true inspiration, and for that, I salute you! |
