Submitted by Stamp Collecting Round-Up Blog
Harretz.com ran a story last month about the history of investing in Israeli stamps in the 1940s and 50s.

Prestige
Submitted by Akphilately Blog
I sometimes think that if I were to start my Machin collection anew I would only go for the panes from the prestige booklets. They have been around since 1969 and yield an impressive array of values, se-tenant pairs, printers, printing methods, etcetera. And they’re usually very nice to look at, so [...]

New Theme for the New Year!
Submitted by Mom Reviews Blog
I’m trying out a new theme today, just something that freshens up the sidebars and the navigation a bit from the previous theme, nothing real radical as you can see. Still working on making the title and tagline “invisible” to readers yet visible to search engines. Not sure about the [...]
