Im wanting to buy first day covers of the over run series and none used single stamps.

Do I have the following right?

• A FDC is usually issued by an official postal authority, like Canada Post
  

• A Cover can be a First Day of Issue type of thing, but usually done by a private company or person (i.e. like the Roger Tory Peterson cachets I'm currently cataloguing).
  

U.S. Scott 245 OG not hinged. Email me if interested richardziggy65@gmail.com

Hey all! Can anyone help me out with this: AI tells me this is a 1939 Egyptian revenue stamp, value 1 mil.

But I have been looking in the Scott catalog and CANNOT find it anywhere in Egypt. Probably Over-50 eyes missing it. So does anyone know the Scott number for this? Unless of course AI has it completely wrong and it's not from Egypt at all, which simply wouldn't surprise me.

THANKS!

Although I love stamp collecting and all its varied tasks, can I get an Amen from everyone, that some of it is tedious, right? Right now, I'm cataloguing a great album of Roger Tory Peterson-illustrated Audubon FDCs which I acquired (perhaps from one of the forum members?! ) at October's Kingston Stamp Show. They commemorate the anniversary of his birth. 

Each is a beautiful piece of art... from 16 different countries, 2 different stamps each, hence 16 different databases in EZStamp, with two stamp records for each. 32 entries, with of course, 16 pics of the cover itself because I'm taking the trouble to do that for this. Thank goodness for Google Drive and how it simplifies me getting the pics into my Stamp Collecting directory.

Ya, tedium. But at least I get to Look At The Pretty FDCs, ya know?   So what's your version of Tedium?

   

Looking to buy any 1897 Canadian Jubilees in M NH very fine condition

Hi all! Wondering if anyone else here is a subscriber to the Quarterly Packs. I ask because I re-subscribed to them earlier this summer (rather than going out to the Post Office to get them) and was told that my subscription should begind with QP3 (June to Sep). HOWEVER, I have not yet received it, nor has my credit card been charged that I can tell, which leads me to believe I may simply have slipped through the cracks.

But please confirm for me: have you received QP3 in the mail yet? That way I'll know to give them a call and look into it. If not, when do we usually receive it... later this month? December?

Thanks!

I sell on Hip stamps to United States and use these stamps well U.S. higher amount stamps. I was talked into buying these new Christmas stamps to send all my sales with. Do you like them? Remember keep your shipping cheap/ cute to make a sale.

My question is why was this revenue stamp applied to the back of this cover?  1948 Lebanon  C 122 and C? payed Air mail to Chicago  from Michel Andros in Beirut  A car part dealer ship. They canceled a precancel as well. I wonder if it was used to help pay the airmail amount. But A revenue would be an ill legally used. I see someone listed it as postal tax. That would be new to me? Perhaps a War Tax type charge.
