So, I'm offering up some of the duplicates in a raffle.
Be careful with those duplicates :)
Several years ago, when the embroidered Swiss "lace" stamp was issued,
I wrote to my "Swiss connection" and she bought a whole lot of them for
me. I then kept one and raffled off the rest -- some 20 in all.
The other day, I needed to check something in my collection, and the
Swiss stamp *wasn't there*. An Italian one -- issued later but made
using the same technique -- was in its slot, but not the Swiss one.
Total panic! :)
Finally, I did find the Swiss one -- it slipped and hid behind a stack
of (non-textile) albums -- but, in the future, I'll keep more than one,
especially if it's unique (or pretty much so)
