    OK I finally got these soaked and pressed and am starting the mammoth task of "flyspecking" them for varieties. I have found a few #219 Die II's amongst these and am very happy about it because I didn't have an example before. The 1894-5 Bureaus are going to be a challenge for me just due to all the color varieties and watermark variations. I think the 1890's small banknotes was easier to assemble and more fun for me. Most of the stamps that I have done so far have been all wmk'd 191 (double-line watermark) but I'm holding out hope that at least 1 will be un-wmk'd...I need sound copies of #248-#252. I do have a few but need better examples. OK enough blabbering from me...your turn! ;)

    Man they look puuurty don't they? I just stuck them in my binder just like that! haha No hurry I'll get to them sooner or later! Thanks again and I just can't believe the generosity of my friends! I so wish I had stuff to reciprocate as I usually only buy one stamp at a time so not mant duplicates. The ones I do have were either given to me by forum members or are so common that no one wan'ts them so I have a quite the quandary at the moment..I don't want to be the guy that just takes as I am usually the one that gives about everything away! I'll come up with something don't you worry none about it! Thank you again everybody for just being so darned kind. I really need this environment as my health isn't that good anymore and depression is starting to become a close friend...I look forward to checking this forum every day (and night). :)

    Amazing collection. I'm curious. Did you put those stamps in a container or somethin?

    what do you mean? What sort of container are you referring too? I have then organized in a Vario stock sheet. Is that what you was asking about?
