他目前居住在South Carolina. 他先前住Mississippi時大量郵品被颱風破壞. 最近他在Ebay已沒見到有中國郵品了.

Check this out. Full Panes of the discussed stamps are offered for bidding. I would guess that more than a few sets of these are laying in someone's files.

WOW! That really makes my mouth water. Unfortunately that is out of my league. BTW. are there any  color-shade descriptions being used in Taiwan? When collecting foreign stamps, color descriptions always bother me. Here are some of the color charts that Stanley Gibbsons published long time ago.

郵票顏色深淺不容易敘述.

Here are more recent stuff........

Stainley Gibbsons 以前有一種顏色比對工具，是一疊塑膠製的長條，每一條上面有各種不同顏色和英文名稱，顏色中間打洞，郵票放在某個標準顏色下方可以比較郵票顏色，不知道現在是否還有。

有的(抱歉若有廣告嫌疑請站大告知). 只是說真的,這些顏色還不夠.

看到這些顏色,讓我想到  天才兄 姚洛克  分享的梅清票  

自己收集梅清,深受其影響,不過我玩的是舊票      

一般Machin價格不貴,但不像美國1940年代後的近期票很多打折票.這是因集此系列的人很多.記得見過超過三千枚以上不同Machin票的郵集(當然包括shade的變異及一些perfin票).小弟手上的舊票(裡面有一些Machin) 都是整箱從網路買來的.這些郵票大部份是教會的教友們收集來籌資金的.五至十磅的郵票或斷片通常幾十美元即可購得,寄費有時比郵票貴. 後來老婆威脅要將地下室成箱的郵票拿來當柴燒才停止購買.那些票也只有等退休後再來整理.郵件自動化後這些東西也相對的減少了.在Ebay輸入"kiloware” 或 "stamp us lbs"還發現不少.

回到日本數字加蓋郵票----縫紉機事件.
張愷升前輩在書上提到有齒實寄十個例子.傳說是因為貼用不便某些郵局曾用縫紉機打孔出售. 跟據Mr. Bohannon的說法是  “Some enterprising postmaster took some of these sheets home and had his wife perforate the stamps (Perf. 12) with her sewing machine.  The perforated stamps were not authorized by the post office officals but evidently, as this cover shows, some got through the postal channels.”
小弟貼一封獻醜了.

謝謝分享,長知識了~
