Re: A thread to just drop into with some news or photos or whatever !!
If you want to troll a stamp collector: Get some really nice mint stamps, put them in expensive protective plastic crystal mounts to keep them same safe, and then *scotch tape* them INSIDE the crystal mounts so they can't fall out.
Aside from the fact that the scotch tape effectively brings the value of the stamp down to zero, it will also stain the stamps as it ages as well.
I saw an entire collection at an antique store like this...there was about $100 (street value) worth of loose stamps that were not scotch taped, but, the asking price for the collection was $200...I would have gladly purchased the collection had there been no scotch tape involved...:slamhead:

Lesser Evil brand, "simple acts, clean snacks"- Himalayan pink salt- w/ organic e.v. coconut oil instead of butter- but I'd swear it has butter! No coconut taste. I've since found out I'm not the only one hooked on it- you've been warned. :D (It's 40 calories per cup, for anyone counting, but it's so hard to stop...)
I am also a fan.

Rare?
I guess that could be said.

I saw a guy selling a lot of scale model train stuff, and I thought this was weird:
