$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$MONTHLY INVESTMENT TIPS$$$$$$$$$$$$ In honor of Flag Day, we recommend a
very scare stamp from Norway, Scotts B24, which depicts the flag of Norway and a Norwegian Soldier issued in very small quantity
in 1941, this is one of the key stamps for flag topical collectors. Fly this stamp proudly, especially if its Never Hinged!! See you at the Club!!!!
BEGINNERS CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mistakes: which are called errors, made during the printing process are very popular with stamp collectors. Many stamps with missing or wrong colors or inverted centers
or incorrectly perforated or on the wrong paper, are often of great value, so keep coming to the club if you want to learn more about errors!!!!!
