Two new additions that I got from Bob Azpiazu. One from DC and one from FW, both low runs of 6.4M. I'm also trying out a new scanner.

Steve, Very Nice  Scanner looks to be doing ok. The New York note looks a bit darker in the jpegs to me. Did you scan both notes at once? or separately? IMHO scanners can be finicky  I was looking at a scan I took of a $1 NA SC the other day and noticed that the seal looked orange, not yellow  The seal looks fine in a digital photo of the note, but not in the scan  No amount of image post processing I tried could turn just the seal back to yellow without affecting the rest of image. Seems like the only fix might be to color profile the scanner with an IT8 card (available from Wolf Faust in Germany for ~$20. Much cheaper than most, and supposedly good quality). Maybe I'll try it someday

I searched "Unionville" and this caught my eye and decided to look further as I thought the listing's heading including Michigan in the title had to be in error--indeed it was. Letterhead from the National Bank of Unionville, Missouri dated in 1895. This is the seller's picture.

I love old documents as much as the next guy, but, yeah, what's this?

I searched all 235 previous pages of this topic and did not see a single postal note, so I thought I'd post this recent acquisition of seven consecutive Postal Notes from 1888. I picked these up if for no other reason than to keep the grouping intact. They comprise the largest known consecutive grouping of the rare Type III Postal Notes. For those of you unfamiliar with Postal Notes, there are only about two thousand known to exist out of 70+ million issued. Of the survivors, fewer than sixty are the Type III notes.

Wonderful Postal Notes. I gave it my best shot three years ago going after a Tampa Postal note, but got outbid. This sold for over $3,700 back in 2015.

Had no idea these were of such scarcity and value. Most impressive!
