#146 - The (not very) Bloody revolution of the Isle of SARK, fake stamps and a wish list for Stamp Shows
Welcome to Episode #146. Today we talk about the small island of SARK which is in the Guernsey Islands of Britain. Look on a stamp of Guernsey with a map and Sark will be the small island at the bottom, just north of France. So why talk about it? Well this is the last feudal holding in the British Empire and it ended in just 2007. (Minute market 3)
We also received a nice reference lot from Tony (Check his stuff on eBay at BarneysStamps) – Fake coils and Kansas Nebraska overprints – Thank you Tony (Minute marker 11)
Lastly we discuss stamp shows and if we had a magic wand.
Welcome to episode #133. On May 22nd Linn's Stamp News (free plug - this is a great magazine) had three articles that we are weighing in on. The first is the APS taking the FIP to task (minute 5 marker). The second is an article on the forever stamp and how stamp collecting is changing the way the post office has to do its accounting. It also has some pretty strong indicators for the strength of the US Stamp Collecting market (minute 15 marker). Lastly we address a letter from David Kolls of Regency Superior Auctions and wish our best to him in his plight but take him to task for his opinions (minute 31 marker).
