Comments on: My first US miniature sheet http://www.stampcollectingblog.com/my-first-us-miniature-sheet.php Amazing true stories from the life of ordinary stamp collector Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:35:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: T-M http://www.stampcollectingblog.com/my-first-us-miniature-sheet.php#comment-1882 T-M Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:17:57 +0000 http://www.stampcollectingblog.com/?p=3055#comment-1882 It's interesting to see such an old stamp used together with modern stamps. I know that in the USA even very old stamps are stil valid. Sadly here in Germany all stamps issued before 2000 became invalid with the introduction of the Euro. You can't evenen exchange them for valid stamps any more. When they were issued it was said they would be valid "forever", but in this case "forever" lasted only some decades. The new stamps are also valid "forever". We will see how long "forever" will be this time ... It’s interesting to see such an old stamp used together with modern stamps.

The new stamps are also valid “forever”. We will see how long “forever” will be this time …

Your “clovers” arrived in beautiful condition. I am impressed at how well you were able to peal them. I also like very much the round orientering stamp you chose. Thanks for the beautiful cover, Keijo! So glad you appreciated the 1937 mini sheet on cover. Your “clovers” arrived in beautiful condition. I am impressed at how well you were able to peal them.
