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).
This week we will be talking about the new dollar value Lady Liberty stamps which will have their first day ceremony at the American Philatelic Society headquarters. We discuss the APS also, and strongly suggest that if you are not a member that you should be.
We also discuss the other first day ceremonies, the Dragon and Magic stamps and then open some listener mail.
This week we are discussing the new airmail stamps that just came out and also some history of the US Airmail Service.
Today we are discussing our favorite stamps. This is a visual thing so anyone who wants to see the stamps go to our Facebook page at StampShowHereToday to see the stamps.
We also answer a listener email on eBay pictures. Size of the pictures matters and having access to a easy to use picture editor will help anyone selling on eBay.
Puffins beaks glow – So what you may ask (OK Fair enough). Well…. Non sequitur segue to the story of the Lundy postal service.
Another Non sequitur segue is to the use of UV lights in philately.
Enjoy
Today we are discussing Bisects but we wonder off here and there to discuss Franks 3 cent stamps, the world’s largest stamp and some of the smallest stamps
Enjoy the rambling journey of the Bisect.
