Stock photo, no less!

The rest are quite common and worth the minimum.

Can't make out the first one on the second row, th

Do you mean "Please help me..." ?

Well, maybe not today...

I went through two year 's worth of chemical treatments but achieved remission. Thanks to the stress on my heart, I am only back about 20%, but that's 20% I wouldn't have had otherwise. Each person must decide for themselves what their life is wor…

It's the lower of two values celebrating Yugoslav monuments, issued June 9, 1983. Scott #'s 1635-1636. Both stamps show two perforation varieties: 13-1/2 and 12-1/2.

This one has finally been withdrawn or removed from the giveaways.

Is there a sudden upsurge in Fiume pricing? My 2015 Scott values this item, mint or used, at $2.49!

Speaking as a buyer, I am a lot less bothered by absentee pictures on inexpensive items than I am by the flagrant abuse of the listing rules. Every time I sort a listing by country/catalog #, I get dozens of pages of listings that are randomly sort…

Kherson has the vertical column of windows. Vorontsov is the skinny plain white column. Temryuk is the thick hexagon. Novorossiisk has horizontal red stripes and Dnieper is the red & black lighthouse.

I have several times purchased from a dealer in the Republic of South Africa. Mail from there consistently takes eight weeks. I have never had a problem with this seller, and all orders have arrived complete and undamaged.

Brazil because of all those watermarks, China, Mexico

Forget "S.P.", that was an error on my part. The stamps I have that bear an abbreviation all say "MEXICO E.P." (or "MEX. E.P."). After close examination I find that none so inscribed bear a date. I have one orange 25¢ talon that says "1944 MEX.", …

I don't have any great interest in collecting Mexican revenues - these were part of a fairly extensive Mexican postage stamp collection I purchased. My interest in starting this thread was to hopefullu, and cheaply, pick the brain of some knowledga…

Yes. The first line translates to "First Stamp", so this is the first issue of the failed breakaway region in Southern Russia. So far as I know, the Chechen Republic was never recognized by any foreign nation.

Speaking as a long-time buyer, I have accumulated an enormous amount of duplicates. On those rare occasions when I accidentally purchase a duplicate, even though I check my order before finalizing it, I chalk it up to the oops! gremlin and add it t…

The second line translates to Chechen Republic.

No response received from Kurt Lange.

Thanks - I'll do just that!

Actually, I like the humor, but my question remains unanswered. ¿Surely HipStamp boasts some collectors and dealers with some knowledge of Mexican revenues?
-
Sorry. I don't know why selecting "upload an image" turns it sideways!

The stamps appear to be from the 1930's &1940's and are not overprinted. My memory was faulty: the stamps are inscribed "Mexico E.P." and are denominated anywhere between 1 centavo to 1 peso. Some are dated from 1931 to 1944, with one cancella…

Well, the Russian capital is actually pronounced Moskva in Russian. The Germans had a problem because that transliterated to Moskfa, not a very German sounding word. The annoying "f" got dropped and the ending got regularized to "kau". Therefore,…

Yes, this is Clyde's site.

I stand corrected in the matter of Clery. Apparently France has numerous towns and villages named Clery. The one in Savoie is listed without a qualifier, and is all that came up when I searched for it. Clery-sur-Somme is a village of about 600 on…

The second label appears to be a post-WWII fundraiser for reconstruction of the devastated city of Clery, in eastern France. It has nothing to do with the Battle of the Somme, which took place in northeastern France. The next label appears to be r…

Thanks, everyone! The fuzzy picture is apparently the best my Kindle Fire built-in camera can do.

Well, if those US stamps really are from 1847 they might be worth the asking price!
