Hello everyone..     I fly out in  12 hours..  so have time to write once more.  Some clever people out there reading my blog   ...  everyone had the right region as to where I am going..no one got it right on first guess.. a few with with two guess and one right but they selected the wrong city.. easily done as where I am going is probably not the most obvious of place to go to.....maybe had it been an olympic year some years back...   too easy a clue eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but to stamps..

I often talk about quality..  here is a lovely block..     high cat I believe for this in MUH condition......which the block is...     nice...  and with selvedge...   but the problem can start to be seen from the front view... see the browning stain on the selvedge....   look at the reverse..    pity really..all that rust toning.. I could have sold this for a few bob were it not for the toning. 

Message....... if in doubt from a description always ask to see a scan of the back of the stamp.

more from wherever if I get a chance...  Enjoy your stamps.. Michael
