[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 455520, member: 136"]How bizarre is that??? From the article RTT referenced: [I][SIZE=4]The couple used a chemical process to remove the cancellation marks on the stamps. They used white spirit to remove the glue from the back of the stamps, before drying them with talcum powder, putting them on drying racks and spraying them with hairspray 'to make them look better.'[/SIZE][/I] How the heck did they re-apply glue to the backs (or did they?) and how did they package them? I just can't picture people buying individual, loose stamps(???)[/QUOTE]
