I'm looking at some Viet Cong stamps on Delcampe. Each of the descriptions includes "TB," like so:

"Viet Nam Emission Viet Cong pour le sud Michel 55/58 ( * ) TB"

or this, with "quasi" added:

"Viet Nam Emission Viet Cong pour le sud Michel 55/58 ( * ) quasi TB"

Any idea what it means?

I think I got it. "Tres Beau" (Very Beautiful).

Yes. And what a nuisance it is to those of us who use the Search to try to find new items for our collections of Yugoslav TUBERCULOSIS labels!
