My newest arrival… Finally have two #10´s on cover. They are not a pair and you can see a difference in size. Back stamped Nov 30 1863 in Yarmouth, NS. Purchased from a seller in Argentina. I would love to know how it ended up there.

My Nova Scotia proof and trial colours collection continues to grow with the arrival of this Unitrade 10TCviii. Black is a trial colour and the green SPECIMEN is rather rare. Was this on EBay? If so I think we might have been bidding against each other.

I think a stamp is worth what ever a buyer is milling to pay.
CV helps me decide how much I want to pay for a stamp. Certainly from the classic era.
I see the value in getting stamps out in the market place. My duplicates sitting binders are doing me no good nor do they add to my collection.
I am sure you will continue to get comments about your pricing.
i have never collected with the thought of return on my investment. I collect for pleasure. Yes, I have paid good, hard earned money to acquire my collection.
When I have time all duplicates will be eliminated and I will sell at any cost that will get them out of my hands.

We all collect what we like or what interests us.
I am not a fan of this group so I would not collect for that reason. If I was collecting modern UK then I would see this added to a collection.
with limited money to spend, I make my purchases based on what I need to complete my collection.

Canada Post has released info bout Christmas stamps. I have tried without success to post a direct link to show images. Do I suggest going directly to www.Canadapost.ca to see Latest offerings. I think this year’s offerings are best in many years. Also there is a Diwali, Hanukkah and Eid issues. For Forum members who would like to have one of these issues please send me a message and and I will send you a card this holiday season. Send me a request message and I will do my best to get something to you. I will try mot best to send the issue you want but it may be a combination of a few stamps depending on where you live. I will be able to guarantee that they will be correctly cancelled with clear dates. I have trained my local postal outlet workers well. They know that us stamp collecterons want nice cancelation on stamps. Please send your request for a card privately with your address if not all ready on the list. Just to give you an idea, it is 2.71 $CAD over seas, 1.30$CAD to US. I may use a combination of current stamps to make up the correct rate. I will try my best to have all mailed by Dec 1 David

I read Lionel’s question to refer to tape on the front of the stamp , not used to fix stamps to a page, I read his issue is with stamps that have come on a package or an envelope where the tape sealing the package has been stuck on top of the stamp. Either way there is no remedy. I interpreted his question the same way. I annoys me to no end that tape is used on an envelope. I think the census so far….no way to remove tape from either the front or the back. i have had tape come off when soaking from paper. But there has always been a a sticky residue left on the stamp.

It is always sad to hear of the passing of one of our members. I always enjoyed Jim’s insight. He will be missed here .

In the past when approaching a large off paper mixture I would typically sort countries alphabetically. For smaller mixes this usually works just fine, but on a larger mix I have found it less satisfying. I end up with piles of stamps, but progress just feels slow. For my current mix, I'm going to try something a little different. As I work through it, I'm planning to use four groupings to start: GB + Empire + Commonwealth Europe Americas Everything else This reflects the rough order I'd like to work on once everything has been sorted. I use plastic food storage containers with lids to keep intermediate sorts in, as there tends to be less pain if I knock the stack of them over. Dale Hours of fun!
