@Rafael... Thanks for the feedback.

I know that having latest posts on first tab is better for regular return visitors'. But I'm also trying to match the needs of silent majority (new visitors and folks that visit very infrequently). For them the "by topic" start page seemed to work slightly better (likely because it provides lots more links). Especially the newsletter sign-up rate went sky high after the change.

But very likely I'll end up with some kind of "smart" system that identifies whether you are new or returning visitor. Or add checkbox (or similar) that allows to make any tab (latest, topics comments) as a personal default view.

BTW. I stumbled with your stamp blog last week. Nice job :)

Respond to this topic

Keijo, personally I like more when latest entries are in the 1st page of the site. anyway, congratulation by new look.

Respond to this topic

@Everyone... Minor tweaks & adjustments afloat.

As some might have noted, the blogs performance has been somewhat poor in last few weeks. The pages have been slow to load, and sometimes the connection has been simply down.... I think I've finally nailed the cause behind this, and based on yesterday's stats everything seems to be operating MUCH faster.

Of other issues... Old look with latest entries up front makes a return; at least for a short while.

And finally... I've got plans to enhance comments-system in upcoming few weeks, so if it behaves funnily don't panic. It's just me playing around and experimenting some things ;)

Respond to this topic

@Nancy... Thanks.

I must say that at first you got me confused with term "release liner", but once I checked your website it all opened up. You're working in a company that's working with self-adhesive papers & films, and release liner is an "industry term" for (and I quote Wikipedia to get it right) "a paper or plastic based carrier web material, which is coated on one or two sides with a release agent, which provides a release effect against any type of a sticky material such as an adhesive or a mastic. Release liner are available in different colors, with or without printing under the silicone or on the backside of the liner. Release is separation of the liner from a sticky material. a liner is the carrier for the release agent..

Not sure if 'archival' issues are on top of Your line of industry R&D, but in terms of stamp collecting/collectors, they ought to be a top priority ;)

Respond to this topic

@Jason... Sounds interesting :) Please check your inbox for my email.

Respond to this topic

I'm sure the newer release liners will come off nicely without leaving any marks. Thanks for showing the pictures to give us the right idea of what your talking about. I'm guessing it depends on the stamp that you are using.

Respond to this topic

Hi Keijo,

I am putting together a graphic book and one of the chapters is specifically about postage stamps. I would like to show a sample of stamps year by year over the past century.
I noticed some of your stamps on Google images and thought that you might be able to help.

Could you contact me and I will let you know more about the project.

Many thanks!

@David... I've noted it. And I do have some various backgrounds saved. Based on few larger sets/groups I've got, I would say you right about the fact that each stamp in the sheet has more or less unique background based on their position on sheet.

Respond to this topic

@David... Thanks :)

Respond to this topic

@Brad...

The first question is easy - stamps of RSAD are not legit. UPU does not regocnize them, so they have no international postal validity.

As for are they supporting terrorism... I really doubt it.

Respond to this topic

Hi Keijo,

this morning I have been buying some stamps in a popular market in Barcelona and by chance I have bought two 800 lei stamps ("Hotel Gorj") belonging to this series.

Do you have different items of them? Have you ever noticed that the stamps differ on the position of the lines that compose the background of the image? All over the background there is a pattern of printed lines and curves, but they appear in different positions depending on each stamp.

So in fact, this creates a (maybe neverending) set of varieties within the same stamp. And I still don't know if it depends on the position of the stamp within the sheet (as they are CTO, maybe the postmark position can help in guessing this) or else if these lines and curves are placed at a complete random position in each particular stamp.

Do you have any clue?

Respond to this topic

It's done! Keep on with this amazing blog!

I just received a bunch of stamps purchased from E-Bay, and R>S>A>D> was among them, about 30, and had to look it up, never herd of it, and I have been collecting for 63 years.

Respond to this topic

@Michael.... True. OpenOffice is a good free spreadsheet alternative. As is LibreOffice (a modernized version of OpenOffice), or GoogleDocs. Or... Sadly none of the above works 'out of the box' with my template (as each program uses different names and/or syntax for functions/formulas).

Respond to this topic

I'm sure this is mentioned somewhere else in this blog, but there is a great alternative to Microsoft Excel (and the rest of the Office suite as well). Its called OpenOffice.org and the best part is its free. It can be configured to look and act just like the Office programs including Excel and its just as powerful and has all the same bells and whistles. I use the "Word" and "Excel" equivalents as my default programs. Its updated frequently and can save you hundreds of dollars. I'm sure it would work with your template as well.

It has its good points and bad points in practice.

Agree... Good verbose descriptions are never easy to build.

There’s a fiendish amount of coding involved, and periodic database redesign – which is why the site still doesn’t look as pretty as the big-name sites. :)

Isn't it the same with every web site :lol:

Respond to this topic

@Rick... Yep. It's a revenue.

Respond to this topic

On the subject of building a stamp catalog efficiently, one of the things I've been doing with StampData lately is to develop a sort of mini-Google crawler that can collect and correlate data from other cooperating sites. For instance, Colnect has agreed to share data, so I can pull data from them, and in turn use StampData's checking algorithms to detect and report errors in Colnect records. Similarly for images from Antonius Ra's collection, and so on.

There's a fiendish amount of coding involved, and periodic database redesign - which is why the site still doesn't look as pretty as the big-name sites. :-)

Respond to this topic

As it happens, the not-catalog-number approach is the core of the StampData design. Stamps are defined by their sets of properties (face value, perf, etc), with descriptions ranging in complexity from "$8.95" if it is a unique face value among all the stamps of the world, to mouthfuls like "United States-1851-1c-ltbl-var=typeIII" when one needs to be finicky.

It has its good points and bad points in practice.

Respond to this topic

I have a stamp with the inscription "stempel marke", which apparently translates as "stamp mark".
It appears to be Austrian. Is it a revenue tax stamp?

Respond to this topic

Okay, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Respond to this topic

@Rick... Sorry, but not. I think (or believe is better word) that I can get 'more' of this lot by simply putting the stamps into various stamp exchanges I take part.

If I sold the lot, I might earn $100-200 (90% of the batch is common definitives and xmas stamps with heavy duplication -meaning anyone can grab a bag of similar kiloware from Finnish stamp dealers for $20/kg + postage)

If I manage to push the lot contents into various stamp exchanges, I hope to add (at least) 40-60,000 new worldwide (definitive) stamps into my collection on the long run.

It's definitely much more work. But IMHO the results could be worth it.

@Charles... True, copyrights do expire at some point. Wikipedia provides a nice country specific list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries'_copyright_lengths

But, I have to say that I have no clue whether or not the copyright is renewed when a new edition of the catalog comes out, or some other modifications to the title are done.

Respond to this topic

Just a thought. I'm no expert on copyright but it would seem to me that even under the most protective of copyright laws there is a point at which the copyright is no longer valid. I wonder if that point has been reached for at least the earlier years of issue. Perhaps, for example, it would be possible to post a legal concordance of numbers for all stamps issued before some specified date (e.g 1920).

@Grumpy Jim..

A bit off topic there but felt the need to get it off my chest.

No worries. I understand.

Respond to this topic

@Rick... These are part of hugely complex 'WW2 aftermath' locals (similar to Pirna overprints discussed few comments upwards). Michel Specialized has got well over 100 pages of various locals (stamps, overprints etc) listed. I've seen many of these mint, but almost never used.

Here's what Michel Specialized states for your items:

The two items I have are a perforated and imperforated version of the item on the left in the bottom row (soldier on stallion).

They're Michel #5 (perforated 12½) and #5U (imperf).

The perforated is easy. Catalog value 0.50€ if MH, 1€ if MNH, and 10€ for used. Print run 768,000 copies.

The imperf... This is where it gets tough.... The specialized Michel has got very little on these. Just a footnote that imperf stamps exist mint, set price 800€ :shock:

I have the 10+20, 12+28 and 24+56. Do you know much about Lubbenau?

These would be Michel #9,10 and 12 issued 18th April 1946. Perforation A=10¼:11 or B=imperf; printed on colored paper. Print run for perforated is 50,000 sets; for imperf 10,000 sets.

Catalog value A-perforated stamps: MNH 1.50€, used 2.50€ each
Catalog value B-perforated stamps: MNH 4€, used 6€ each

Respond to this topic

@Helmut... Thanks. I'm happy to hear that fellow collectors like You are liking on what the blog provides.

Respond to this topic

@Fred... Found it.

The 1F base stamp (SG#692) was issued Jan 1st 1941 (and the other values 25th Feb 1941). Not sure why SG puts these under wrong year, as all other catalogs got it right.

+10 overprint was issued few months later on March 4th 1941. It's SG#704

Respond to this topic

Not familiar with blocks of mint, specials, etc. but I guess this gum problem is one very good reason to stick (STICK :) to used bona fide used stamps via kiloware or whatever your source. That way your precious mint collection will not go belly up and cause you distress 10 years down the line
I now have a total contempt for new stamp issues anyway because in my country (UK) they just churn them out by the millions just to make money from the "buy all" collectors and don't even have the decency to use their own stamps at the post offices, and just use those pathetic labels.
A bit off topic there but felt the need to get it off my chest.
Best wishes and thank you for your valued blogs and info etc.

Hi K,
Absolutely no problems with the new look. What I hate is visiting a site which still has (for example) 2005-2009 in the small print at the bottom. Updating and changing shows the visitors that someone still cares about the content of the blog, and I think that this has a knock on effect with the traffic and feedback from the visitors. Good work sir! and I took your site off the Adblocker. as well.

@Luca ... Like I wrote on the original entry:

Especially in in the US markets these are “dirt cheap”, because Scott does not catalog these – and for many collectors that is the end of it.

So you will not find these if using Scott catalog (or the Steiner pages as they are based on Scott).

Respond to this topic

Hi Keijo,

do you have an idea of where to locate in the catalogue( i use scott) the stamps from "Ajman state and its dependencies"? i have more than a couple of those including one block of "old & modern ship" from the 70's. i know its from the 70's because of google....i use steiner pages but i cannot locate them neither....any clue?

Respond to this topic

@William... Possibly. This batch was from single small kiloware lot, and I suspect that if gathering a 'wider' sample then the distribution of papers, values etc. could prove somewhat different. But most importantly, it's a good start for this 'undiscovered' area of philately.

Respond to this topic

Keijo,
After sorting the 1 and 5 lei stamps I am starting to think that the thick yellowish paper is the hardest paper to find. I say this because I have only found a strip of three stamps and so far that is all I have found. Once I finish all the sorting I will mount the stamps and put them in a binder I am going to design for the specialized collection.

@Trev

anyway whilst sorting through a recent stock book to add to my collection of Czech I came across a 1918 postage due 100 value in blue rather than the brown & cant seem to find any mention of it , any ideas ??

Absolutely no idea....

If mint/unused, then it could be some kind of printers waste or trial print (which is plenty with classic Czechoslovakia).

Or it could be chemical changeling of some sorts.

also can you recommend a good specialist catalogue for Czecholsovakia ,I have S.G one but I would like to know more about the 1918 castles set and variations in printing etc.

As far as I know, the most popular option for Czechoslovakia collectors is POFIS. It has several volumes (covering different eras/areas). Less known alternatives are Trojan catalog, and Merkur Revue catalog (highly specialized).

That said, if your interest is only with first few issues of Czechoslovakia, then I'd start with these freely available essays: http://www.csphilately.net/firstrepublicstamps
They are guaranteed to keep you busy for weeks (I know, because I've read them all :cool: ).

@Everyone... I've made a change of policy regarding requests to receiving a copy of my Excel template.

It is (and remains) freely available to anyone who wants it. But it's now licenced as 'postcardware', which means that in order to get (and use) new copies of the template, you must first send me mail (postcard, letter etc) with your email address.

As for why the change... It's simply a matter of how I spend my time / resources. Even if forwarding email takes just one or two minutes, making it over 1,500 times sums up to considerable number of hours.

Quite many have kindly mailed me a thank you postcard or email. But sadly a significant proportion has chosen to go without saying even thanks.... Which is what this change is about. If you want a piece of my time, I want a piece of yours too.

As for being disjointed... I'll see if I can make things better. One of the biggest issues of website design is that people use different devices to access the site, and for each and everyone the site looks & responds a bit differently. This picture shows what I mean (it is rather large file, so it will open on new window)

Right now I'm somewhat happy on how the site looks (& functions) with majority of users (two topmost resolution/device groups), but when heading to smaller (and older) devices I've still got some work to do.

But every bit of suggestions (& reports what works/what doesn't) helps....

1-2: Unmarked apart from numerals, I have no clue

No idea about the first one, but the latter is Swiss postage due.

Yep. Thailand, see year 1889.

4: Some sort of label?

Agree... And definitely British. Maybe from the 1920/30s?

5: ?

Occupied Germany: Russian Zone, and more specifically East Saxony.

6: This is early Belarus. The ID is fine but I cannot find this in your list of postal entities. Is this because there is no evidence of postal use?

Bingo :)

7: This is marked “United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo”. Again I cannot find this in your list of European postal entities.

True. There will be a separate listing for the stamps & areas administered by UN.

i was thinking about things like maybe they where out of red color paint

I very much doubt. Over the years I've seen quite many items where red/orange/brown shade has turned into similar yellow/ocker/green(ish) shade blotches of all shapes/sizes.

if it is exposed to chemicals wouldn’t the yellowish color be unsharp ?

Not necessarily.
