Did you receive the stamps I mailed you????   BF

How long does mail take from US to Russia????  BF

I got the stamps out to you today, Konstantin.  I hope it doesn't take to long to get to you.

Sounds like a match made in heaven.  I will send them out next week, Konstantin.

I'm sending you a collection of my own stamps along with some retro American stamps going back to the 1940's. I will put them in the post today. I like the engraved look of the old stamps.   BF

Hello Konstantin!  I have some old American postage stamps.  I used to collect them when I was younger.  I'd be happy to mail you some if you are interested.

Bonjour Konstantin!

Sorry, but you won't be able to get a Penny Black for anything under $100 -- unless you are very, very lucky and find one on e-Bay that no-one else bids for. I get lots of catalogues from stamp dealers in the UK, and the minimum price for a Penny Black is about $180. And then you can pay up to $50,000...or probably more. As I'm sure that you know, the price of any of these early plate stamps depends on the plate number, the position on the plate, the colour, the condition, the postmark (if used), the margin, the number of plates printed etc.

Perhaps you should focus on Penny Reds (I do). They are much cheaper -- from about $1 -- and there are many, many more of them around than Penny Blacks. I have about 500 Reds, but only 2 Blacks.

Let me know if I can help further.

Regards, Val

Your "Year of the Black Snake" stamps are great. I'll send you some of my stamps in exchange for the Black Snake stamps. Do you have perforator?? Myself and a good bought one about 8 years ago. You're a great artist.  BF.
