          I had hoped this would be last  listing  with  1992  stamps,  but
          there new issues are still showing up and large number of catalog
          numbers are still missing.  So look for it again near the end  of
          February.

                       stamps.  The stamps with the variety only appear  in

                       the  colors  are supposed to match the original, but
                       when I got home and compared the ones  I  have  from
                       the  1893  issue with the 1992 issue, the colors are
                       not the same.  The 1992  issues  are  lighter,  more
                       pastel, than the originals.
