Stampworld does not mention any 3sgr in this color, and I cannot find any info on this particular stamp other than 2 ebay listings. Appears to be engraved, with wreath-like watermark (it's pretty hard to see).
Found these at Mauerpark Flohmarkt in 3 separate occasions. Not bad finding, I guess.
Hey guys... So I recently inherited this stamp collection... They are all from 1922 - 1988 ( roughly ) they are pretty well organized I suppose... Each kind of stamp has an individual envelope for the stamp itself and then the groupings ( singles, doubles, strips, blocks, plate blocks ) .. some envelopes have 20-30 stamps, some have 500-600 in ea envelope... I tried my best to organize them somehow but it honestly just takes too much time and I don't know what I'm doing or what to look for... None of them have the gum on the back, although they seem it be in pretty damn mint condition to me... And I think they are all cancelled.. what could this collection be worth would you think? I know it's like counting pennies in a jar but figured I'd ask .. thanks! If anyone has any questions or advice please feel free to reach out.
Here is the album with some of the photos and a list of what AI said SOME of them were

Hotels are wicked expensive, so I'm only going to be there for the second half of the first Saturday and the first half of Sunday, but I can't *not* go when it's only a 5 hour drive for me.
Road trip!
I’ve always held onto my dads stamp collection but never really looked into it until today. He passed away about a year and a half ago. He mentioned he was a big collector when he was a kid and this was one thing that brought him joy. I’m glad he left his collection with me. I don’t know much about stamp collecting..and I never got around to ask him about it but I figured I can share his collection with you all to enjoy.
Who printed these stamps, Waterloo Bros. & Layton, or Thomas De La Rue & Co. & why? Also, is the 2/6 a light or dark brown? I’m waiting on my specialized to arrive? Thanks!
The incomparable "Caspary - Amundsen - Foxbridge - Cheung - Gross" cover
franked with the largest existing multiple, on or off cover of the rare 1857 2p
scarlet vermilion; the UNIQUE strip of three. One of the great highlights from
the superlative Camellia PLC collections.
I started collecting stamps a couple of months ago and my collection is growing steadily. My issue though is that I don't find satisfaction in my current "display". My stamps are organized in a stamp book by year, series or whatever I felt would fit well together. I don't have the money to buy or print stamp albums at the moment.
How do you guys that don't use stamp albums display your stamps? If it's in a stockbook, what do you add to it to make it look good? And if you use stamp albums, do you have any tips on making it cheaper while keeping the stamps safe?
Hi, this might be a bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if someone could help me with something.
I'll be visiting Rome next week, and I usually send myself a postcard from wherever I go. I would also like to send a postcard from the Sovreign Military Order of Malta, as they have a post office there. However, I'm in the UK and we do not have a postal treaty with the order, but I know Canada does, along with a few other countries.
Is there any chance anyone would be able to help me (as in I send it via you)? I'd be happy to send you one too, and I'll also be able to send from Italy, the Vatican, and San Marino as well over the week that I'll be there if you'd be interested in receiving mail from those places.
Drop me a message if you're interested :)
