i will try to keep this as brief and to the point as i can...a couple of times i went to Manhatten with my friend Joe who would sell stamps to Cherrystone Auctions. I went along as company and to help carry 3 or so fairly heavy briefcases or suitcases of stamps and my reward was all i wanted to eat at Wolfs Jewish Deli..also gone from the scene ! So we enter a fancy skycraper and go up to Cherrystone Auctions...very plush mahogany conference room etc etc and do business..then we go down one floor on the elevator and there was this magic place called Stampazine(i hope its in heaven now) Well going from Cherrystone to Stampazine was like going from the Rainbow Room to the Blarney Stone on 6th avenue. there was this bare bones huge area filled to the brim with stamps in who knows what order. You sat on a barstool at a counter and three old gnomes God Bless them..would come up and asked what you wanted to look at...I LOVED IT..if only it could have lasted !!! Its kind of amusing the difference in the two shops...the rent in that skyscraper must have been atrocious...Cherrystone is still there..sadly, Stampazine is not !!
