Discussion - Member to Member Sales - Research Center
I've been getting quite interested in RPO's of late. Just wondering if any of our members are also a member of the Mobile Post Office Society? They have a number of publications and I'm wondering if you have purchased any of them and if you found them of value. I'm looking for a publication that gives me the RPO name, the date range in which it was functioning, and if possible an idea of its rarity.
I have enhanced my MNCANCELS.ORG website, which I mainly use for documenting Minnesota Cancels (I guess you would have worked that out), so that I can now add in my RPO covers as well. I'd like to be able to get the above mentioned information about US Railway Post Offices so that I can add it to my website.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Regards ... Tim.

Tim, I acquired the early catalogs when they came out in serialized form as part of a lot I purchased.
I don't have the catalogs with me right now, but I don't recall it assigning rarity factors. However, I haven't really gone through the pages in detail as I only recently acquired it.
In case you don't get additional answers to your catalog questions from another member...
You can email me a couple of postmarks scans, and then I can email you back scans of sample pages for those postmarks, and then you can decided if the catalog might fit your needs.
