    the first three are semi-postals and have SC#'s of B121, B122, and B125 respectively.

    the 4th stamp is SC# 4691

    the small 15 kon stamp next to it is (i believe) SC# 4602A

    the picture of the sun?: haven't found it (yet)

    the last one? SC# 2628

    It never ends, the scans and cataloging.
    Isn't it great, I am loving it. When I get (soon I hope, I am slow) done with Australia I hope to upload it to catawiki, with my Angola, Albania and Anguilla. The the rest of the A's.
    How do you scan a page of stamps and keep in at a low enough K-Bites to post?

    when i scan a page i just leave it in 800dpi, once scanned i then open with paint and resize by 50 percent, save and check the size, if still larger than a 1MB file i just resize and save again until it is the size i need normally about 8-900kb

    other people may do it different, but that works for me, on catawiki you can load files up to 5mb, this does mean you can get great scans of the stamps you are uploading to your collection

    My stamps are about 200 kb's, I had asked but never gotten an answer. So the answer is that this site can handle an upload of an 800 to 900 kb's. But my pages are over 1 MB as you have. I will have to post them when I get done. I also broke down and bought a collection program for my Mac. It works well by the fact it takes out the Doc and the spreadsheet files and I have only one file, one input. and in compresses it for storage, so my disk space is small. It allows me to collect anything. So when and if I get free time I can enter my coin collection also. It is called Lineup Multi collector for Mac Version, PC also there for you PC users.

    The one I have is called Numbers, it is Mac's spread sheet which is comparable to excel. I have written many a programs with excel for work, so I am no stranger to the program, But this one, Numbers is really a better program, it allows me to drop a jpeg right into a cell. But the nuts and bolts are the same. They are all the same except the fancy stuff, it all ends up columns and rows.

    Me back again, i have managed to find, catalogue and update catawiki with all but these last few for CCCP, any help with these last few would be great, then that is all the scans i had updated, the rest and there are quite a few still need scanning when i get home, so i will start another country once i have these on.
    it is really hot here today a bit of a heat wave being 38c in the shade, thank god for aircon lol
