Nice article in an area of my keen interest, The opening remarks reminds me of an expression of educated intelligent people having doubts (possible open mind to opposing opinion) while lesser individuals are in no shortage of certainty. Beware of the absolute certain opinions. I really enjoyed the article as I am in posession of 180+ triangles whose facets still elude me. Telling Blue shades between issues is a dicey proposition.

Indeed, my compliments to the editors and to the other collaborators; another wonderful edition :-)
From my own article, Going Big : USPS Large Format Cancellations,
If you have any of these of your own, i.e. large-format cancels and do not collect them yourself, please contact me directly for trade or gift.
On the other hand, if you collect do them or begin to collect, please consider showing them here on TSF...
Happy collecting!

A big thank you to the people who edited the story i wrote. The level of my english is too low for this kind of works...
Nothing important or related to stamps, just a small pause between a stamp and another...

WOW - great articles everyone! Once again, I'm having a tough time picking a favorite!
As to my article - well - Oops - I did it again! Even after several proof-readings, I see several awkwardly worded sentences. LOL! Isn't that the way it goes?
The trading article will be added to the beginner's information section here. If you can think of anything that I overlooked please let me know and I'll add it in.

philatelia I agree a great newsletter once again! There are so many people on this forum with a wealth of knowledge in different areas. It is always great to see. When you upload your article to the beginners section I would like to see pictures of examples of bad stamps. I am especially interested in the killer cancel category. I view the wavy lines as killers, but it doesn't seem as though everyone feels this way. I am also not sure about what constitutes as a stain, is that just a dirty stamp or something more. Thanks again to all of the contributions to the newsletter.

pattib, you’re very right. There is so much expertise within this group - just amazing! We’re very fortunate that our fellow members generously share their knowledge here in newsletter articles and also forum posts. Your suggestion is really a good idea. Pics of different types of faults would be really helpful to newer collectors. Thank you!

I hope I've done the voting thing correctly. I ticked Michael Hide's article, but couldn't see what to do next.
