The object of Maximaphily is to obtain a card where the stamp and picture are in close concordance, ideally with an appropriate cancellation, too. If all three elements are concordant, then that card truly is a maximum card (hence the name Maximaphily). Preferably, the image on the postcard should not be simply an enlargement of the image on the stamp. There are exceptions. For example: a work of art, like a painting is often shown in its entirety, both on the postcard and on the stamp of the Maxi card.

A silver-red Boeing 707 from New York landed at London airport. A crowd of press reporters, newsreel-cameramen and others milled around, filled with excitement. Mr 'Finber Kenny climbed out with the 'One-Cent' British Guiana stamp. This 'one-cent' stamp had been insured at £200,000 (Rs 46,00,(00) and was specially brought by a 'bodyguard' for display at the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue Centenary Exhibition in London, Next morning that priceless piece of paper was the topic of the day. All the papers carried headlines on it and the BBC did a special programme with a close-up of the stamp. What was so remarkable about a scrap of old black-and-magenta paper? The story of this stamp is very interesting. In earlier days the stamps of British Guiana were printed by a British printer, Waterlow &' .Sons. In 1856, the stock of stamps was exhausted but a fresh supply had failed to arrive. So the postmaster hurriedly had 4-cent stamps printed locally using the existing design, the seal of. the colony­ a ship and the motto 'Damus Petimusque Vicis sim' (We give and we seek in turn).

    Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue by Patrick Crosby a Stamp Collector Can Complete a Scott U.S

    Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue By Patrick Crosby A stamp collector can complete a Scott U.S. back-of-the-book category with just one stamp valued at 75¢ mint or used. I’m referring to the 1955 Certified Mail stamp (Scott # FA1) which helped the U.S. Post Office Department (P.O.D.) inaugurate Certified Mail service. This stamp and Certified Mail become much more interesting when on cover, like the featured postcard’s first day of issue usage. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield called the new Certified Mail service a “change in the registered mail service,” reducing costs to patrons and speeding delivery on at least 25 million letters a year. Registered mail requires special bundling, recording of information, and security at every handling point. For 15¢ Certified Mail would offer proof of mailing and proof of receipt with no indemnity (insurance) or special security on first-class items that have no intrinsic value as opposed to the minimum 40¢ registry fee. A patron would pay for first-class postage and the Certified Mail fee, then he would receive a numbered receipt. The mailed item would be entered into the ordinary mail stream (unless airmail or special delivery) with a two-part Certified Mail label, one part adhered to the envelope. When delivered, the carrier or postal employee was to have the receipt portion signed by a recipient, then remove the receipt portion where rouletted and return it to the delivery post office for filing. If the patron had requested a return receipt (showing when, where, and to whom an item was delivered) it would have been noted on the mailed item and a fee of 7¢ would have been paid for in postage.

This work is the result of thirty years of studies and researches. The science of it was at first for me only an amusement; it became gradually the subject of labors of all sorts, unrelated to my profession, but full of ever renewed pleasures. The collection of stamps is no longer a mania which one need defend. It requires intelligence for classification, skill and care in the ar- rangement of albums, and procures a great quantity of geographical, historical, ethnographic, linguistic, com- mercial and industrial information. I have reunited in this series of chapters the phases of knowledge through which one passes in collecting stamps. Dr. Legrand. INTRODUCTION. Origin of Timbrology. " Timbrophilism, " love of stamp collecting, is not an- cient in the history of humanity, but it is more extensive than other varieties of love of collections.

    Appendix a Apollo 15: “The Problem We Brought Back from the Moon”

    Appendix A Apollo 15: “The Problem We Brought Back From the Moon” Postal Covers Carried on Apollo 151 Among the best known collectables from the Apollo Era are the covers flown onboard the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, mainly because of what the mission’s Lunar Module Pilot, Jim Irwin, called “the problem we brought back from the Moon.” [1] The crew of Apollo 15 carried out one of the most complete scientific explorations of the Moon and accomplished several firsts, including the first lunar roving vehicle that was operated on the Moon to extend the range of exploration. Some 81 kilograms (180 pounds) of lunar surface samples were returned for anal- ysis, and a battery of very productive lunar surface and orbital experiments were conducted, including the first EVA in deep space. [2] Yet the Apollo 15 crew are best remembered for carrying envelopes to the Moon, and the mission is remem- bered for the “great postal caper.” [3] As noted in Chapter 7, Apollo 15 was not the first mission to carry covers. Dozens were carried on each flight from Apollo 11 onwards (see Table 1 for the complete list) and, as Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott recalled in his book, the whole business had probably been building since Mercury, through Gemini and into Apollo. [4] People had a fascination with objects that had been carried into space, and that became more and more popular – and valuable – as the programs progressed. Right from the start of the Mercury program, each astronaut had been allowed to carry a certain number of personal items onboard, with NASA’s permission, in 1 A first version of this material was issued as Apollo 15 Cover Scandal in Orbit No.

    Along the Shantung Railway, China; German Postal Administration 1900 - 1914

    Exhibit Synopsis Prepared for NAPEX 2019 Along the Shantung Railway, China; German Postal Administration 1900 - 1914 EXHIBIT: This single frame postal history exhibit uses covers and their postal markings to follow the development of the German postal system associated with The Shantung Railway during its construction and after its completion. BACKGROUND TO THE EXHIBIT: In 1898 Germany and China entered into a treaty through which Germany obtained a lease of Kiautschou Bay and adjacent land area. A fifty Kilometer (km) “Neutral Zone” was established around the bay in which China could not change laws without German approval. Concessions for establishment of railroads and of mining rights within Shantung province were granted to Germany. Between 1900 and 1904 a Germany company constructed a railway with a mainline of 395 km (245 mi) from the port of Tsingtau in the leased territory to the Shantung provincial capital of Tsinanfu. During early construction, German Marines were sent into the neutral zone to put down unrest brought on by the construction. Military field post offices were established to serve these men, and they later became civilian post offices of the Kiautschou postal system. Once the railway opened, a special railcar on each through train held a railway post office that accepted mail at stations along the railway. As the railway construction proceeded, temporary railway postal agencies were established near the railhead at construction bases. Also, during the construction period, four regular German post offices in China were opened in towns along the railroad. Each of these developments is represented by covers in this exhibit.
