Whether you were naughty or nice in 2013, you must have a Santa wish list. What would be your top philatelic item that you want Santa to bring you this year? (now, be real; British Guiana magenta doesn't count!).

Mine is mint Kong Kong Scott #23, the 96c olive bistre, to complete my mint British Hong Kong set.

06 Dec 2013
10:22:22pm
re: 2013 Santa wish list for philatelists

1. Peace and good will among stamp collectors and TROTW (the rest of the world).

2. An immediate and permanent end to Stamporama crusades against eBay, PayPal,
duplicitous postage-stamp producers, USPS, stamp-catalogue editors, ad infinitum.

3. Heightened appreciation for Mr. David Teisler, who, as President of Stamporama,
keeps an undisciplined membership toeing the line in ever-shifting sand.

4. Greater respect for Stamporama's Volunteer Committee for the time and effort
they contribute to the well-being of Club Stamporama.

Hi Nigel

How are you ? You are right about the good story !! But then I would say that wouldn't I ? !

The London Philatelic Exhibition (LPE) was one of the first Stamp Exhibitions. It was held at the Portman Rooms,Baker Street, London in May 1890 to celebrate 50 years since the birth of stamps !
It was at this show that an announcement was made regarding the collecting interests of a certain Prince of Wales, later King George V !! The rest is history, as they say.

Unissued remainders of two Mauritius stamps (Red-Brown,1849 and Blue,1858) were overprinted by MP Castle and perforated by the original printer, Perkins Bacon at the show. Varieties exist. All types are scarce to rare.

The unoverprinted and unissued stamps are listed in Scott as 'unissued' #'s6-7. They are unlisted in Gibbons SOTW.

Approx 2,700 were overprinted. Forgeries abound, especially of the overprints.

One day I'll find one or the other. After all, they are a Number 1 !!

David,
I have a partial pack of old Harris Honor Bilt hinges. There is no date on the package, but I'm guessing mid to late 60's. There are several hundred still in the pack. I haven't used hinges for anything other than experiments in 40 years. I don't know if these things are still good, but they are yours if you want them.

The London Philatelic Exhibition (LPE) was one of the first Stamp Exhibitions. It was held at the Portman Rooms,Baker Street, London in May 1890 to celebrate 50 years since the birth of stamps !
It was at this show that an announcement was made regarding the collecting interests of a certain Prince of Wales, later King George V !! The rest is history, as they say.

Unissued remainders of two Mauritius stamps (Red-Brown,1849 and Blue,1858) were overprinted by MP Castle and perforated by the original printer, Perkins Bacon at the show. Varieties exist. All types are scarce to rare.

The unoverprinted and unissued stamps are listed in Scott as 'unissued' #'s6-7. They are unlisted in Gibbons SOTW.

Approx 2,700 were overprinted. Forgeries abound, especially of the overprints.

One day I'll find one or the other. After all, they are a Number 1 !!

Okay, Michael. For that suggestion, here's your early present, a lump of philatelic coal.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

My wish list is simple - printer cartridge, paper and sheet protectors so I can continue making my album pages.

re: 2013 Santa wish list for philatelists

David,
I have a partial pack of old Harris Honor Bilt hinges. There is no date on the package, but I'm guessing mid to late 60's. There are several hundred still in the pack. I haven't used hinges for anything other than experiments in 40 years. I don't know if these things are still good, but they are yours if you want them.

I have to agree with Zipper: US #2 is the top of my list, followed by US #1 on cover and a penny black on cover. All are currently well beyond my budget (especially seeing as how I need to write a check for >$2K for work just done on the house.... D'Oh

I enjoy these issues but I would prefer Graf Zeppilin plate blocks.

I'd like a few 32-hour days so I could make progress on my album for Belgium, updating my other Western Europe albums, checking all the interesting info on the Stamporama website and the Auction and keeping my trading site updated.
