Odd Shaped Stamps. Be Cool, Don't Be A Square.

Wanted to start this one for circles, irregulars, etc. But the wife stole my printer usb cable for work! (Honey we need to talk)

Will get some pics posted when I get my cable back. (aarrgghh)

Mac, a few irregulars..nice term, going out in todays mail, also mail for Rick L. I think Cim is having health problems..hope to see him back on a REGULAR basis !!

Happily on my way with my first topical set.

Tonga Sports

Since starting out as a US only collector, I have now been corrupted by the forum for WW. Any ways these are a great diversion from my collection. I imagine most have seen these.

Tonga 1964 issue (136-39)


Tonga 1964 issue (C7-10) air post

Here are a couple. From Tonga, of course.

The first is a provisional airmail overprint.

The second is a diamond shaped stamp for the diamond anniversary of the King of Tonga.

For weirdo collectors like us, Tonga can be a real sinkhole! Nice issues!

The coolest stamp from Tonga I remember seeing came on a cover I sold
a couple of years ago. It showed a scene of Ewa Island through a
camera lens, Scott 459-463. If you have the catalog on disk, you can
probably see it in color.

Greg, you are not kidding either. There are a bunch for that country. I did come across the key issue of the Boyscout overprint very cheap. So cheap I will have to see if they actually get delivered.
Here is the 1974 UPU map set from Norfolk Island I just received and this is my first complete country done as I have the other sets. The guide set was already shown but I think next I will show the Boyscout issue from Norfolk island.

Those Norfolk Island stamps are interesting I didnt realize the place was that big..can we send some of our politicians and CEO's there ???

Would love to send the ceo's over and out of here Phil but they would probally add it on as a tax decuction for buisness trip.

Here are the Scout issues from Norfolk island from 1978.


Also, the 1975 set from Norfolk Island

I almost popped for that set from Norfolk Island but was able to restrain myself.

Hey Gregg as promised here is the picture of the set that came in today. The 1973 CO69,70,71 Boy Scout issue of overprints. And yes I am a happy camper as you know this is a key set.

Nice pieces! I may just have to go auctioning some more. I found a lot of them on eBay.
