Just like riding a bike.
Well, not quite. I needed 33's technical acumen to bring the page back to life. I enjoyed writing this blog and working with the stamps when I did it. I have no memory as to why I stopped and re-reading some of my blogs does bring some of it back. My writing was and is often sloppy as I like to write like I converse. I have to break up with the .... ellipse.....(or maybe I won't.) I do have a friend, Clarence, who is committed to working on the editing part of this.
The beauty of it all is I get to look at beautiful miniature pieces of art and with that, comes research and education.
As for this lovely stamp, I can tell you nothing. I have been unable to identify its age or origin. When that happens, I often get a tingle of excitement that this stamp is so rare there is little to no information or literature about it. That's why playing fantasy stamps is so fun.....not as much fun as fantasy baseball, but I digress. The partial cancel is clean as is the stamp. The cancel may or may not affect stamp value (likely none). That said, offers always accepted. EDIT-4/27/21-----this stamp is Japanese issue. Still no year or info. EDIT2 same date...conflicting internet opinions. Further research indicates it is a China stamp......more detail to follow. I bet you can barely wait. And here it is This is a 1988 stamp from China, part of a 4 stamp set. Nothing rare or special about it from a stamp value perspective. I like the Buddah.
The beauty and the beast of writing this blog...and my others, is that readership and interest is limited. I am writing for myself and I am fine with that.
With that my non-reader, if you are looking for serious literature, I can surely send you a signed copy of my "2020 APBA Baseball Tournament, a short but true story."
