Beginners Corner???????????????????????????????????
In my monthly Investment Tip, I used the expression “Topical”. While

some collectors collect worldwide stamps, and other collectors save
stamps from a particular favorite country, some collectors collect
topics, like birds, butterflies, or trains from all over the world. These are
“Topical” collectors. Come to the meeting and learn more!!

I know, I am beginning to sound like a
broken record but there is a GOOD
REASON I keep touting Portuguese
Colonies Stamps. There is a Portuguese
Guinea Souvenir Sheet, Scott
270a,depicting naked women and
grass huts, which is severely under
cataloged, at $67.50 mint or used. Less
than 500 of these sheets were issued,
making it a Must-Buy at $100.00 and
under.
??????????????????BEGINNERS CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An excellent place for youngsters and beginners to learn at is at a local stamp
show. Most dealers are very accommodating to neophytes; because it is in their
best interest to educated and cultivate new collectors
