U.S. Stamps (Favorite)

christopher — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 01:16:56 GMT

It is hard to have a favorite stamp! They are all so interesting. But I would say that the early Revenue Stamps are some of the best in design. The most interesting are the 1898 Documentary Stamps with the a ship in the middle. each one in different colours and different denominations from 1 penny to 50 cents or more. post pics later.

Stamp in general

christopher — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:36:06 GMT

In my opinon on stamps is that the older stamps pre-1960's, were more detailed and had a certain look about them. What I mean is the stamps were art,they were not just a photo or to me what looks like a quick drawing. Yes there are some stamps that are out there that are nice, But you have to admit the stamps of old were detailed and designed to please the eye. The cool thing about then was it was not just in America it was Worldwide. It is hard to pinpoint which stamp or stamps I would say are the top notch, You know which are the favorite of your collection. Because to me all stamps whether early or later years are great to have in your collection. Whether you only collect certain countries or catagories, or like me, My collection is non-specific. Otherwords everything. They are still great! Like a lot of people I grew up before computers and the stamp was my way of learning and visiting other countries. And at any time if I have bored you with my ramblings I apolgise.

White Ace Album Pages

kozersky — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:46:50 GMT

We have had many requests regarding Christmas Seal Album Pages. Currently we stock the White Ace Album Pages in two forms. We have the album pages imprinted and ready for the 1907-2005 U.S. National Christmas Seals. We also stock Supplements to update the album until 2008.

If you prefer to layout your own album pages, we also offer blank album pages from White Ace which have the same design as the imprinted album pages.The blank pages would also be ideal for a collector who wishes to add local U.S. Christmas Seals or seals from other countries to their collection of U.S. National Christmas Seals.

We also stock a selection of blank pages for the topical stamp collector.

This is the link to the album category -

Avatars

kozersky — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:07:25 GMT

Avatars are the pictures that show up under your username when you post on the message boards. These pictures are an easy way to connect with other people on the board and can help to give a more personal feel; however, they are NOT required.

If you are interested in adding an avatar to your message board profile, simply click on the Control Panel link located in the top right, below the Kozersky Stamp Co. banner. The avatar picture option is about ten lines down on the edit profile page. Your avatar can come from a picture on the internet or from your computer. Place the URL of the image in the box provided or click on the Upload an avatar from your computer link to search for the image on your computer.

NOTE 1: Unless you are the one managing your internet picture, youre better off using a picture on your computer. Reason - if the picture is moved on the internet, its possible your avatar will disappear. If you really like the picture on the internet and you dont have it on your computer, you can always right click (with a PC) or hold down the control key and click (with a Mac) on the internet picture and save the picture to your computer.

NOTE 2: The avatars will display best if they are 100 pixels by 150 pixels (or a ratio of 2:3) or smaller. There are many different picture editing software products that you can use to crop excess picture (background) and resize (preferably only to shrink if you enlarge your picture will be of lesser quality). If you do decide to play with your pictures and arent really sure how to use these software products save an extra copy of your original picture somewhere so if it gets ruined you can start over. Remember the undo command is our friend. =)

Simply go to the bottom right corner of your post and click "edit," make your changes, and submit it again. If all else fails, you can also delete your post down in that same bottom right corner. The system will check to make sure that you really want to delete your post - just push "OK" and you're free from embarrassment for another day.

Beijing Olympic Stamps

Ames12441 — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:01:43 GMT

Good day.
On July 14, 2001 my father was in Hong Kong and purchased a complete set of stamps issued by the Hong Kong Postmaster General to celebrate the decision that the 2008 Olympics would be held in Beijing.

There are several sheets of stamps of several different stamps in a folder, a set of four stamped envelopes, and a copy of the South China Morning Post for that day. The one set of sheets of stamps is in a protective cover and has three different denominations, 1.30 (Hong Kong), .80(China), and 1.00(Macau).

The other two sheets of stamps are separate, and look like regular Hong Kong postage stamps commemorating the decision to have China host the games. All of this is in the original Hong Kong Post Office bag.

We just found all of this behind the china (sic) cuppoard in his dining room and wonder if there is any value to stamp enthusiasts.

Is anyone familiar with this issue? Any opinions on value or what we should do with them?

Thank you for your time.

Take care,
Ames
