Favorite Stamp column!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In May, Rick Erat, (stamp dealer) from Syracuse, New York gave us two lectures. The first lecture instructed our members about the uses of the internet in philately. The second lecture described how to construct a framed exhibit for a stamp show. BRAVO, Rick and thank you for this wonderful lecture!!!! Rick will give us another great lecture in the near future, so make sure to come to the meetings!!!!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$MONTHL Y INV ESTMEN T TIP S $$$$$$$$$$$ In the spirit of summertime, I strongly suggest investing in another butterfly set. Butterflies, as a topic are as hot as summer day.

The Peoples Republic of China issued a 20-stamp set, Scott numbers 661-80 in 1963, which was issued without gum. It is scarce, and in high demand in China. Buy it immediately if you can purchase it for under $200.00, buy it !!! If

KNOWLE

you want to know more come to the Club and learn all about stamps! See you at the Club.!!!!!! BEGINNERS CORNER???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How Scott Catalogue can be the key to your collection: When looking up stamps you should always remember that each stamp corresponds to a lettered, numbered picture. The prices are as follows: Left-hand side price is for unused or mint stamps, Right hand side is for used or cancelled stamps. For those who want to know more come to

the Club meetings and learn more it’s free to learn and join.
