A cover from Guam, but made in Belgium


Yesterday May 19, I received this perfect cover from my good friend Holger.

As you can see these are his first "personalized" stamps. If you wish to learn about covers, this is the man.

You can meet him on MyPhilately at http://www.myphilately.com/ and simply look up his profile in the search area.


Thank you Holger

Sometimes a cover makes it back home with only one cancellation

In a previous post I mentioned that some postal workers should be fired.
Here is an example of a cover that made it safely back home with only one postmark done on the first day of issue of one of the Canadian stamps for the IYA.
By some mysterious event this cover did not get any ugly mechanical cancellation even though it went through the same central postal distribution center as the other 2 shown previously.
Go figure!?!
