Want a Challenge?

• The 37 Cent variety would be especially suitable for a specialized study.

• Many items could be included at very little cost (IF YOU CAN FIND THEM!)

• There are also errors (SOME BOTH EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO FIND)

EXAMPLES• USE ON COVER for every variety– Include coil plate number singles

• ALL PLATE NUMBERS both sheet and coil

• ALL SIZE OF BOOKLET PANES for each– Include complete booklets

Most of these would be inexpensive
