Just to show a case of good luck in contrast to last post. This is something I found while sorting stamps I had soaked from kiloware… An Argentinian 10 peso definitive postage stamp issued in 1995. It looks like any modern day topical stamp, but if catalogs are to believe, this one is worth 30€ a piece.

It’s been a long time since I showed some of the EFO’s, but I think they will match perfectly with my current writings about stamp quality. Here’s something I picked up last night from kiloware I had soaked few days earlier.

I’m a non-smoker, so one of my greatest annoyances is ending up with otherwise good stuff that has cigarette smell all over. So how do I get rid off the smell?

I’m quite sure this is one of those errors that many stamp collectors have never heard of. I must confess that I was more than pleasantly surprised when checking the catalog for this stamp.

I think most stamp collectors do make unusual (and random) findings from kiloware (assuming it is truly unsorted).

Soaking stamps is something allmost every stamp collector has to do every once and awhile. Sometimes it’s simply to remove a pile of old (and tatty) hinges on the back of stamp, most often it’s to remove backing paper. There is of course a right way and there is a wrong way of going about this…
