Pantodude Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Apparently one of only two known (slabbed) books 9.0 or higher w/ at least OW-W, and the other one is also OW-W (one of the two 9.4s). Only 15 total on census. Edited March 27, 2022 by Pantodude Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantodude Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Not expressly on the cover, but was centerpiece of a war bond poster at the time, as noted above a page ago.

Pantodude Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Here's the complete set of these WWII war stamps. That big stamp is pretty cool in hand b/c it is actually pretty big for a stamp.

Popular Post AJD Posted May 4, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 I bought this Australian Disney war stamps album a while ago. It has an odd mix of Disney characters and other stuff - including this UK/US piece sourced from Canada! It also has a page for war stamps: So I figured I should have one to put in it. Turns out these aren't too hard to find on eBay: comicjack, sagii, Get Marwood & I and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
