$$$$$$$$$
MONTHLY INVESTMENT TIPS
$$$$$$$$
This month I strongly suggestinvesting in an excellent product,rather than a particular stamp. Nicestamps, which are
fragile
, should bekept in
plastic mounts
. This month Isuggest purchasing an
Album
, new or used, of the hingeless variety, with theplastic mounts
intrinsic
to the album.You wouldn’t park a
Rolls Royce
ina back
alley
, would you? You shouldpark your NICE STAMPS in a “
nicegarage
”,not on the“
street
”!!So get to‘steppin’and get a hingeless Album today!
BEGINNER CORNER
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I know this sounds overtlly evident, but all stamp collectors should NEVER consume
beverages
near their stamp collections. Even a Dealer with my experience hassuffered mishaps with way- ward cups of coffee. Eating and drinking should be aseperate activity from philately!!!! If you want to know more come to the ClubMeetings!!!!!
