biggfredd,

I love the pictures

How come none of the stamps on the box are cancelled? Plus, I'm not sure you've got enough stamps on the fridge to cover the postage based on weight.

A sad commentary on stamp collecting.....

I often buy things on ebay that are mailed with older postage, presumably bought at a disount to face value. This week was a new low as far as a commentary on stamp collecting goes. I got a package this week with a lovely block of 4 of the 4 cent 1947 Graham Bell Canada issue on it. It is sad that this is now only worth $0.16 as postage. Not a very good return for holding it for the last 63 years.
Rest in Peace

Box-

I hadn't mailed it yet. See "Bigg Fredd" on the pink address label.

Fridge-

I was an easy place to dry $800 face in stuck stamps. Just soak them in the sink, rinse, and slap them on the fridge. Once they're dry, they automagically fall off.
Rest in Peace

, Smallcentguy!

The problem with stamps is speculators can quickly pile up enough of an issue to fill a dealer's needs for decades.

The CAPEX issue had everything going for it. We bought over $6000 worth, and it never did go anywhere. Lots of postage.
