Is this the same guy as Txphil or different because I believe he got the boot.

Greg I’ve had many fishing trips where I have come up empty but you enjoy the experience. It also makes it much more meaningful when you catch a big fish. My best score was at a doctors yard sale I purchased several albums which filled in my own l…

Rene, I liked this question of yours but it appears folks treat this area like their favorite fishing spot secretively hehe. I’ve been collecting a long time now and have had the best luck and most fun at yard sales/flea markets/antique stores/esta…

@treasurings2 Jerry, store count is up to 1208 doesn’t seem to be dropping. I thought Hip would be way over 1500 by now but it appears fewer want the hassle of selling stamps and paying fees.

Gibby had a bad case of diarrhea but it appears he’s an EBay guy without a store on Hip so bugger off fellow.

Ted is channeling his inner Ron with this cat stuff.

On the bright side you get to see what is bought and sold which previously if feedback was ignored by both parties was invisible. But yeah nobody likes auto feedback it’s supposed to increase the numbers all around.

Did Jesus say every stamp was an efo or did he turn that album of ordinary stamps into wine stamps?

His listing is 59.99 vs 5.25 that’s quite a price discrepancy… https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/stamp-bahrain-sc-104-114-mnh-qeii-definitive-series-complete-set-mint-11/27691756 https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/bahrain-104-114-mint-never-hinged-f…

@John Eckhardt You will have to up your ante to 200,000, well done sir.

Well, its a good thing added perforations never caught on like clip on nails.

Michael doubt it, "Our team is actively working on a resolution, which we hope to implement in the next few days." Probably just renegotiating the splitting terms. Jerry, exactly Ebay's market capitalization is north of 45 Billion. Be curious to …

I think it’s a Prisoner of war charity relief set.

Still the ones in question were actually used and likely show some wear even without any cancellation marks. But any buyer wouldn’t pay mint because they were likely used stamps. George you can believe in fairy tales though if you like.

Agreed Phil, one of my pet peeves is when a clearly used stamp with marks on front and back is listed as mint no gum. If the back looks used it is used.

I'm so old we used to flip cards against the wall for fun and eat the bubble gum in the wrapper from the corner market. Pete's first year card was 1963 he played all the way to 1986.

George, mouse agrees he just wishes pesky trap technology wouldn't evolve. Does anyone know how the synching problem actually occurred seemed to be working fine until the gremlins showed up.

Nice Ted, He was a solid hitter born in the same city as Ruth.

@Kris Weinschenker 1963 Topps rookie stars?

Regarding feedback it feels like XMAS came early, pump it up. I assume they changed the feedback code though.

@Phil You can't really blame him as he made his fortune designing and selling shoes. He was a rudimentary collector when he received his brothers stamp album. However, Du Pont was more of a serious collector even from prison apparently. He made a…

Have to agree with George, if a stamp has pencil on the back leave it be. Unless you really want to fiddle around with it but keep in mind how many stamps have been bent or creased due to someone trying to erase pencil off the back. If you want a …

Y'all better get your last entries in for the Zeppelins and the Jefferson stamp! Exciting times, they should do a live drawing here. Anyone remember those lottery clips with the numbered ping pong balls and Yolanda?
