My impression was that there was a kind of recall or stop distribution order or something 60 mil? I saw a pane listed for $27 somewhere.. but less on ebay.  Inerestinglyone man ray stamp sold for $4.++ on ebay. It would be good to find some answers - i did use some back then and

Thanks for asking! I did a short search to see if I could answer your questions. Nope. I see nothing about rarity (60 million sheets produced…) nor about any controversy. One site with four sheets for sale at $12.99 each, not quite double face value of the stamps so not unreasonable. Also I did

I bought a few "panes" of this 2002 issue - I have two left and have been toying with selling one, but looking at listings on line I'm surprised they are available for as little as they are.  None of the listings mention that they were rather quickly pulled from distribution because the heirs

Paul, I looked at some images of both. The Pine Siskin has a yellow primary in the wing (like the one in your shot) whereas the Vesper Sparrow does not. Otherwise there is lot of variability in the markings. Shows just how difficult SBJ's can be. Alan C -Original Message- From: Paul

I’m quite sure Mathew Hunt was right when he said my Vesper Sparrow Is a Pine Siskin. The banding on the breast is too heavy for a sparrow, and the fact that this bird was hanging out with goldfinches supports his contention that it’s a Pine Siskin. Always great to get bird input here. Someone

Larry, Actually, Samsung does that with a "dual-camera" setup, - where they realize a "portrait" mode. It's actually quite good, - I saw one just two days ago, when a hair master took a few photos of the customer. It minimizes or even eliminates that wide-lens-selfie effect, and also blurs
