聊一下數字郵票.
Paul Chang (張愷升前輩) had done some detailed study on SC#1-9數字郵票 in one of his books. Earlier this year, I had the chance to purchase some covers from this American Taiwan stamp collector. In his Ebay listing, he attached a short story about himself………………….
Most of you know by now that I love collecting and studying Chinese stamps and postal history. This came about when I was stationed in Taiwan as a Chinese translator during the Vietnam War. I brought this interest back home with me in 1965, and now almost 50 years later, I am still doing my best. In 1984 I published a catalog for the China Stamp Society titled, "Seals and Labels of China" long out of print. But I always studied the stamps to find varieties and unique specimens that were not listed in catalogs. Then came Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and I lost my beloved collection. If you are so inclined and have good scuba instruction/gear...you can dive in the Gulf of Mississippi just south of Pass Christian, Mississippi and look for it. I had it packaged in three heavy-duty plastic bags sealed one inside the other with plastic tape. I am sure nothing survives, but it was a treasure to be sure. I'm telling you this because I still love imparting specialized study of Chinese stamps to my friends. If you have followed my ebay auctions for the last two years, I am sure you have seen items never before seen that would make your mouth water. These two covers are just such items. I hope you know that there were printing varieties of the Taiwan overprited Japanese stamps Scott # 1-9, after the end of WWII, and I found two here that may interest you. The difference in the color BLUE is dramatic! Enjoy! 完
I’m sure few Ebayers in Taiwan had read this article since some of his covers showed up at stamp dealers in Taipei later.
I’m surprised that An American could have such a deep interest in Early Taiwan stamps. No doubt he is an expert of the subject SC#1-9.
那三個塑膠袋現在不知在何處. 可惜一些保貴的資料就這樣消失了.
張愷升前輩在書中指出Sc#1 to 9都有顏色變異.可惜書是黑白的不容易看的出來.小弟在此將購自Ebay的兩封以及其它自己的一些收藏 SC#3- 拾錢, 讓一些沒有參考書籍的郵友參考.
