I would like to invite all to read the newly published IPDA newsletter which was masterfully edited by own Ted Tyska.
This month's edition includes some blither and blather from yours truly along with a plethora of interesting and informative articles written by a number of authors with a ton of experience in the philatelic field.
Detailed information about the upcoming IPDA Annual General Meeting is included compliments of our General Secretary, Michael Dodd.
Make sure to register for Ian Lasok-Smith's excellent "The Philatelic Register" publication.
Also included is an interesting discussion about certain listing policies by the aforementioned "Super" Ted Tyska along with an examination of best practices regarding what to do after a sale by Michael Dodd.
Part V of Scott Payton's excellent "Washington-Franklins: Taming The Beast" is included as well.
A fascinating retrospective on the stamp market by Roy Lingen originally published over twenty years ago is as valid today as it was then.
Lawrence Fisher contributes an edition of his "Stories Behind the Stamps" and finally an introduction to H. R. Harmer's new Marketing Director, Ms. Allyson Baumgardner, wraps up this issue.
The Board of Directors and the membership if the IPDA hope you enjoy this new issue.

And agree... wow, I got a "package" of a partial page of stamps recently that needed an angle grinder to get through the volume of tape, fluffy packaging, more tape, cardboard, more tape, more cardboard, more tape, a large glassine, more tape, another glassine, more cardboard, more tape and then the item... it was really overkill.
I HATE tape around stamps excessive amounts in particular because stick and stamp is a BAD combination!
Yes it is weird. Sometimes packed to excess and then after wading through all matter of protection one all the stamps are in one envelope and squashed together. And then there are cases with no packing, no stiffing--only an envelop with one glassine envelope and several stamps all a jumble!! Crazy. This is a real problem. I now focus on dealers that I can trust to do a good in packing even if it is more costly.

one finds all the stamps
I actually left the stamps on the envelope--I just added cork-made, cool swastika cancellations to hide the Texas ones. Looks great!
Best

AGREED!!!
