i love stamps...have since age 8..thing is I want them for the lowest possible price ! Most stamps that I need are available at a percentage of catalog. If stamps all of a sudden became scarce,hard to find...I imagine we would throw the catalogs out the window and pay the demand for our beloved stamps. One of the old time dealers at Orapex is retiring and putting his stock up for sale. He said "after I am gone its all junk !"
