MONTHLYINVESTMENTTIPS
$$$$$$$$$$$
In the spirit of
summertime
, I stronglysuggest
investing
in another
butterfly set
.Butterflies, as a topic are as
hot
as summer day.
The Peoples Republic of China
issued a20-stamp set, Scott numbers
661-80
in 1963,which was issued without gum. It is scarce, and inhigh demand in China. Buy it immediately if youcan purchase it for
under
$200.00, buy it !!!
If you want to know more come to the Club and learn all about stamps! See you at the Club.!!!!!!
BEGINNERS CORNER
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How
Scott
Catalogue can be the
key
to your collection
: When looking up
stamps
