Thanks to all. These "new norms" have become constant reminders of just how good life was before. Local dealers I spoke with recently all said that the surest way to have delays with the USPS was to mail with any services besides first class. I s…

Sounds like a good policy Greg. I wish that back scans were a policy for ALL postcards on HS. For a number of years now I have been acquiring examples of every type of pre 1925 Florida machine cancel. Most of the early 20th century can be foun…

in New Rule!!! Comment by Todd Hause February 2023

Thanks, That looks pretty close, Hungarian I believe. I had translated what few words were on my pieces but it all related to postal offices, postal officials marks, etc. and nothing more useful. The "Postautalvany" on yours translates to Postal …

Tom, I may not be using the correct terminology. Below is what I was talking about. It sounds like your software does something similar. This ScanSpeed (free trial version). It automatically detects the picture and places the crop boxes around t…

Thanks Ted, nice program, I downloaded to use on existing scans. It doesn't seem to include scanning so I'll probably still give the Scanspeeder a try unless I hear of some egregious trait. OP Tom, I didn't see these batch scan separation and de…

in Scanners and their software Comment by Todd Hause January 2023

Has anyone here tried Scanspeeder? I'm currently using a Canon MF8580C scanner printer with Presto Page Manager software, which I like many aspect of but it does not do batch scanning of multiple items into individual scans and then there is its fr…

Ahh what the hell, it's only 2c. This newbie likes Hip, no problems on the store side. Like most stamp sites, as a buyer, I do lurk around Decampe and Stamps2Go from time to time, but don't find what I'm looking for there, so don't go often. I di…

Scott, it looks like you will be right between the only shows at that time. Sarasota Jan 20-22 and Maitland Feb 4. I can offer a dining recommendation. That part of Florida has some of the best Amish restaurants around. Look for one online in tha…

Congratulations and thanks for the read. Noticed the Sarasota National Stamp Exhibition, January 20-22, 2023 was not in the showlist, so thought I would note it here, since it will happen before your next newsletter comes out. I recognized a few U…

in January IPDA Newsletter Now Available Comment by Todd Hause December 2022

Can't resist throwing my 2c in on this. As a buyer I don't pay attention to credentials except maybe as one factor to gauge knowledge. Unfortunately I've been ripped off at lease once by those with and without credentials. On the flip side, I've …

in A question for customers.... Comment by Todd Hause December 2022

I found this from the APS site on the APS/Hip transition FAQs "If I am selling on HipStamp independent from StampStore, will my APS Badge still be visible to potential customers on my HipStamp-only account? Yes, badges will be available to APS sell…

in APS Badging on Stores Comment by Todd Hause December 2022

I was looking at this on the APS site the other day and I had the impression that you had to be selling an item through the APS portal to get the badge. I don't recall how they worded it but that's how it looked to me.

in APS Badging on Stores Comment by Todd Hause December 2022

Scott, no problem, I agree about the color charts. I concluded that for the $1,000 - $1,500 a White's cost I could buy quite a few 2nds for a color reference collection. Nothing seems to work as well for me as putting a subject next to a known un…

in US Sc 279Bc Color Variety Rose Carmine Type IV.? Comment by Todd Hause December 2022

Color has got to be one of the hardest things in stamp collecting. At least it is for me. Kenneth E. Diehl put this nice high grade color chip guide together a number of years back but I don't think it would be easy to find. It's not the end all …

Thanks, I thought there might be one but was in a hurry.
