Today we are discussing “RANDOM STAMP STUFF” which today resulted in Local Posts and Florescent paper as well as Killer Ice-cream.
Today we are here with President Trump and President Putin in Helsinki Finland so obviously our conversation today is going to be about Finnish Perforations. After all, what else could we discuss?
We also discuss some FNR’s that you can see on our Facebook page – the stamps show Monte Python, Dragons and many other topics.
Today we discuss German East Africa in World War 1 and General Vorbeck. This interesting area, that most people couldn’t point to on a map in a drunken bet but after this episode, you will know all these colonies and what they did in World War 1.
Then on a happier note, we discuss pre-war Austria and their experiment with adding varnish bars to stamps.
Enjoy.
Today we tell you all the post office news you need to know (not really).
Today we are discussing the Simpsons and Precancels.
We discuss a 2 cent Harding stamp (GO TO FACEBOOK; TO THE STAMP SHOW HERE TODAY PAGE, TO SEE IT) that has a precancel from Springfield so we couldn’t help ourselves but to discuss the Simpsons.
Then, because we are a stamp podcast we also delve into the precancel itself and discuss the history of precanceled stamps. Why, How, When – we cover all the bases on precancels on stamps including if one with full gum that has never been used is “Mint” or not.
This week we are talking about stamps that just make you go WTF? (Yes we have a long intro – and that is an odd one also).
Also Stamp Collecting Comic Books.
Enjoy.
Today we are discussing Souvenir Sheets.
Today we have a special guest. Author Rick Barrett who wrote the book “Buffalo Cinderellas, The Gentleman, The Huckster and the Pan American Exposition. Fantastic book by the way. Everyone should buy one but of the 500 book print run only 200 remain so…. If this is of interest I would not delay.
Today we ask the question “How did Morocco cause World War 1?” Are we crazy? Well listen and let’s see if you agree that the seeds of World War 1 go back to the 1905 Morocco crisis. Also, as Scott would ask, “What does this have to do with stamps?”. Well we cover the fascinating stamp issues which arose from this and the other “dominoes” that caused World War 1.
We also give a shout out to Bradley Fritts who won the ITS NOT JUST STAMPS award at Westpex 2018.
Lastly, as we are discussing World War 1, we talk about expertizing the AEF stamp booklet panes issued for the american soldiers in France.
This week we talk about just a lot of stuff. Just whatever pops into our heads (0 minute marker because – well after you listen it will be obvious).
