... that is, that fear in the pit of your stomach as you decide to move stamps along that you may have missed out on some valuable stamp because you had simply too many of them to check the catalogue to see if there were any potential valuable ones you should know about first?! 

I speak as I am starting to clear out my collection...

... and issuing postage stamps!

Denmark

I just read this, but am not surprised, quite frankly, which is why I'm still gobsmacked at the Canadian postal union's flailing attempts to keep a dying service alive, even as Canada Post loses 10 MILLION DOLLARS per day. And I speak as a stamp collector!  

Thoughts, anyone?

... you're going through some Canada Post Quarterly Packs that have been stored for several years, which you have not yet put away, although they've been catalogued. So you don't check your catalogue, and when you don't see the stamps in your album, you assume you had never bought them and now find yourself pretty much with a complete second set of new 2019 Canada stamps... which were in a temporary album called "Current Year" which you had completely forgotten about, sigh.

This is because you were LAZY, and wrote their location as "Canada Album" when you catalogued them, because you couldn't be bothered to locate them as TBPA (To Be Put Away), which would have saved you lots of money, ya know?! Oh well, I'll sell them.

That why I have kept this picture, quite a few years old (weight loss and no glasses are now the Real Me LOL!), to use for these whimsical, lesson-learning moments, yes?

Im wanting to buy first day covers of the over run series and none used single stamps. Still no contact for me to buy wow

Do I have the following right?

• A FDC is usually issued by an official postal authority, like Canada Post
  

• A Cover can be a First Day of Issue type of thing, but usually done by a private company or person (i.e. like the Roger Tory Peterson cachets I'm currently cataloguing).
  

U.S. Scott 245 OG not hinged. Email me if interested richardziggy65@gmail.com

Hey all! Can anyone help me out with this: AI tells me this is a 1939 Egyptian revenue stamp, value 1 mil.

But I have been looking in the Scott catalog and CANNOT find it anywhere in Egypt. Probably Over-50 eyes missing it. So does anyone know the Scott number for this? Unless of course AI has it completely wrong and it's not from Egypt at all, which simply wouldn't surprise me.

THANKS!

Although I love stamp collecting and all its varied tasks, can I get an Amen from everyone, that some of it is tedious, right? Right now, I'm cataloguing a great album of Roger Tory Peterson-illustrated Audubon FDCs which I acquired (perhaps from one of the forum members?! ) at October's Kingston Stamp Show. They commemorate the anniversary of his birth. 

Each is a beautiful piece of art... from 16 different countries, 2 different stamps each, hence 16 different databases in EZStamp, with two stamp records for each. 32 entries, with of course, 16 pics of the cover itself because I'm taking the trouble to do that for this. Thank goodness for Google Drive and how it simplifies me getting the pics into my Stamp Collecting directory.

Ya, tedium. But at least I get to Look At The Pretty FDCs, ya know?   So what's your version of Tedium?
