The Black and White Collection

The Black and White Collection....the beauty of this page is the diversity of stamp, country, visuals yet all within a black and white context.  Many of these stamps scream to be researched....just who are these faces and why are they so honored, as it were?   One of the beauties of stamps is their vivid color and the fact that color has maintained integrity often for 25-50-75 and even 150 years.  So the etiology of this collection is the yang of that.  Black and White.  Simple.  Beautiful.

Update:  So I decided tonight to research the Grenada stamp...long a favorite...totally mind condition in all regards.  I find a very used version on ebay....$18  and many other similar stamps selling for a dollar or less.  It is a 1952 postage due stamp....but clearly this particular stamp is valued higher than similar issues.   Now I have to chase more information that is difficult to find....but if a used version is worth $18---then this totally mint version may actually have some value to a real collector.
