I only collect 1 country, mint, never hinged, complete booklets and booklet singles, perforated varieties, colour varieties, reprints, imperforate pairs, as much as I can get.... |

What determines the Top 10, availability, popolarity or value of the stamps?
Just a simple question, that's all

I find it interesting discovering unknown places like this, so i got on Google Earth and entered "Harwood Island NSW" and it took me there straight away, then viewed around the place
Its nice to see these locations that become familiar on stamps or postmarks
Hope this helps

Hi Doug2222usa & Allenswood
They are just stored in a Lighthouse "Kabe" brand pvc stock sheet (typical varied sizes) i presume its PVC but definately not paper/cardboard type product
I live by the beach so maybe the salt air may cause this, not sure
Many thanks for your imput

Thanks for your advice,
Do collectors usally just accept this or replace it with a new copy (which may turn as well)
Not sure on what to do in relation to my collection, just in case this may start to spread to other orange stamps, should these items be isolated or just displayed as normal? |

Your link was appreciated, i know it said to use hydrogen peroxide to help these stamps, but do you use it on mint stamps and do you only use on the stamp face, never done this before
