This morning saw a steady stream of collectors and dealers through the morning. Here is the opening bell! More behind me.
Good indication that there is a strong interest in the stamp issue. Right off the bat, we were thrown a surprise postcard… not 1 but 2!

The Prestamped Postcard has a different denomination (90 sen) for an international rate. However this morning, we were surprise to see another pre-addressed and pre-messaged postcard!

How was the response in your location? Did you also buy and send the postcards?
Stay tuned for an announcement later today…..
