    First, to the mods, this is not copyrighted so it should be able to be posted. Second, this is mostly for newbies as most seasoned collectors have seen this before and know better. Just read it and weep, as how many will fall for this and be out some serious money. I have no knowledge that any state ever did these type of rolls but if you do, then please chime in. IMHO these are private wrapped rolls and outrageously priced. Reminds me of the high price salted rolls go for on EBAY. And if they were real, how did a company in Canton, Ohio get them from Ca. Buyer beware, edited

    First of all Tommy you to understand that everything is copyrighted automatically from the instant somebody writes it - everything !

    That said you can still share your info by simply posting a link to what you copied and posted, or by linking to the image you wanted to show by using the Image icon in the posting toolbar.

    I'm so sorry about this. I really did think it had to have a copyright symbol on it. I could not link it because it was a mail piece. I did notice though that they used the USPS logo without a copyright symbol. Of course I will be more careful in the future now that I know.

    No problem, I'm just sad you can't actually share the image. You can however type out the company name and basic info in the ad so that folks know to avoid it.

    Thank you for understanding. I certainly don't want to get on a bad boy list here. I would do as you mentioned but I tossed the mailer after I scanned it.

    That would never happen for such a minor offense. Things like that are simply edited and forgotten. Now if someone were to commit the same violation over and over again after having been told to stop and warned about it - that could be a different story. But that's about the only way.

    As for the info, simply use the picture you have to get it, unless of course you've deleted it.
