$$$$$$$$$MONTHLY INVESTMENT TIPS $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ This month, in honor of Columbus, I recommend the Argentine Columbians, Scott # 90 and 91 issued concurrently with the more Famous American Columbians. At $50.00 mint hinged, they are a bargain . At $100.00 never hinged, they are a STEAL . This set is scarce. The editor owns them on an even rarer First Day Cover!!! So come to the Club to learn more about this stamp! BEGINNERS CORNER?????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is an excellent rule of thumb for overprinted stamps: if a stamp catalogues
more money without an overprint, it is probably, genuine. If the overprinted stamp catalogues more, Caveat Emptor (buyer beware)! I would get a certificate if I were you! Say what? You’er not coming to the Club? Why not? Don’t
be afraid, come and learn about history on stamps, its fun,Free and Educational bring the kids, bring a friend !!!!
