Club member AL Weinstein is going to give us a lecture on the joys of collecting cinderellas. Stuart, our President will augment Al’ s discussion with a
presentation on Zeppelin Cinderellas. Keep in mind that cinderellas are stamps
that adorn an envelope without being good for postage. See you at the next Club
meeting, be there or be square!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.
