Hello,  well it is not long before the 2006 Commonwealth Games opens in Melbourne. I was in the Post Office today and saw this FDC. Quite nice. Well I thought so.  Had a few spare coins so got two copies.

Yours for an email to me at cddstamps@gmail.com if you can answer the following and get the answers correct, and if you are the  123rd...[ no only joking I dont get that much email...]     if you are the 6th and 8th email.

Question 1 - how many athletes will Australia have in the Games?

Question 2 - How many of the Australian athletes will be competing in their 4th Commonwealth Games?

Question 3 - How many Gold medals has Australia won in the Commonwealth Games since 1930?

Question 4 - How many nations are there in the Commonwealth?

Question 5 - Name them all..     JOKING...  HA HA     no seriously,  you only have to answer the first four questions.  I hope you enjoy reading about the games.. 

I suspect there will be more stamps over the next few months.  I read somewhere there will be one issued for each gold medal Australia wins.   Well I expect to go broke just on that let alone      and I am still saving for all those new issues from Great Britain. Which makes me think     .... have you looked at my StampOffers lots.. some useful and extremely cheap offers there - starting at a dollar and to be honest if you bid a dollar then based on recent experience I think you will get the lot. Pity really that more people dont look at Stampoffers as I think it is one of the better Auction sites.  http://www.stampoffers.com and search by seller cddstamps. Not all my eBay lots sold either so I relisted what did sell went for a bargain so have a look at them as well..  my id is michaelatcddstamps

Enjoy your stamps.. Best wishes... Michael
