WRONG!  The August 10 Linn's incorrectly reported that the coils would not
have plate numbers on them.  The most recent Linns, August 24, corrected this
error.  Furthermore this only applied to the engraved issues printed by the
BEP.  The photogravure version printed by ABNC has a number every 24th stamp.

The entire issue is abusive to collectors because the USPS is marketing this
as a "stamp" instead of a meter, which is what it is.  I hope that Scott treats
it as a meter.  One other way of treating it would be to classify it as a
stamp, but pricing it without regard to the denomination.  That would put the
unused price at about 58c and the used price at the minimum of 15c.

Hi everyone...

I'm interested in basketball cards, preferably before 89-90.

Let me know what you have...

Can anyone recommend a card shop (phone #) which is good for

I only recently came across this group, and I was *VERY* surprised
to find that 95% of all the messages are about "cards".  I'd think
with such a HUGE amount of traffic, there should be a separate group
called "rec.collecting.cards" or something.  I have a feeling that
new people could be overwhelmed by all the card talk and decide not
to post on more generic "collecting" topics.

I happen to collect all kinds of things...  Not many "cards" though. :->

Are there any other serious VIDEO collectors on this group?  I am always
looking to find new people to compare have/want lists with...  Currently
I have around 800 tapes, and over 3000 entries in my video database.
Send me some email if you want to compare notes...

I do not believe that the new variable rate stamp and the dispensing
machine will print a plate number.. It is my understanding that the
system does not have a plate numnber.  An excellent article appeared
very recently in Linn's regarding this stamp.

I understand that the coil of stamps are preprinted before insertion
into the dispensing machine and only the denomination is imprinted upon
purchase and that the printing processing did not have plate numbers..
