A Celebration of the Penny Black !

Many scoff and scold at reproductions but they can have their day. And some do not come cheap. Reject them at your peril.
This little attempt at giving the Penny Black and reproductions of, some kind of friendship. I couldn't resist.

The Topical Alphabet, Pt3_PtoZ

This is the final part of the Topical Alphabet exhibit. For each letter of the alphabet I illustrate on one, two or three pages examples of a single topic. The stamps will either show the topic directly or relate to the topic. The pages show only a small sample of the stamps that could be used to depict each topic. The first stamp(s) to depict a topic are highlighted on a color frame, the same color as the color of the page’s title frame. The table below shows the topic for each letter and the number of pages for that topic. (by Frederick Skvara - AgathaWatson)

The 2013 Inverted Jenny $2

This exhibit shows material related to the 2013 Inverted Jenny $2 stamp released by the USPS, an example of the 2013 "Upright" Jenny $2 and the Collectors Set released at the same time.
In 2013 I was the editor/publisher of one of the study unit journals of the American Topical Association. Membership in that unit included over 60 members residing outside the United States that required over $4.00 in postage to mail our quarterly journal. So over the ensuing years I purchased thousands of the $2 Jenny stamp, not only for the ease of using a high value stamp on the envelopes, but also in the hope that I would be lucky enough to obtain an "Upright" Jenny. No such luck. But when I was ordering new stamps for my personal use at a rate change, I ordered three panes of the Jenny: one for me, one for my wife and one for our then current dog, Mr. Bunter. Mr. Bunter won the "Upright" Jenny.

Great Britain Penny Reds 1841-1880 a short tutorial

An introduction and a brief worldwide survey of the first 30 years of stamps - a period when the idea of prepaying for a letter and dropping it into a post box was as novel as the Internet is today. An idea which touched off an explosion in communication, just like today. (by Roy Lingen - roy)

Odd Shaped Stamps

David started collecting "odd" shaped stamps around the same time he joined Stamporama, in Oct.1999. At that time he thought a triangular stamp was an odd shape. In his words, "Boy, did I have a lot to learn!". He lives in the Great White North (Canada) and his philatelic friends began to call him "The Odd Canuck"! One page also shows his topical interests of Buses, Motorcycles and Domestic Cats. David is hoping that this display of his interests will encourage other Stamporama members to contact him for trading. (by David Greg - october)
