I'd like to hear about it! Of course you can always use stamps for letters and packages at full value. But unless you want to wrap your envelope...
You're completely right about inflated catalog prices for stamps. I don't know any dealer who doesn't discount at least 50 percent from the listed...

It sounds like they also have made "practice" Euros and maybe other currencies, too. Has anyone seen examples of these?
The last one with the 8s might have a little extra value to a Chinese buyer. Eights are considered good luck. The BEP gets a premium on their...

I've always thought the fronts of all the National Gold Bank Notes were pretty impressive, and the back is phenomenal. Of course the fronts are...
I was scanning a few things today and noticed that the bag of coins (post #2 above) also shows up in the 1991 ABNC Archives portfolio on the "Gold...
Cool! Thanks for the offer. I'd definitely like to pick up the FUN card. I really need to get to this show sometime, it's just such a long way...
