In my monthly Investment Tip, I used the expression
“Topical”
. Whilesome
collectors
collect worldwide stamps, and other
collectors
savestamps from a particular favorite country, some
collectors
collecttopics, like
birds, butterflies, or trains
from all over the world. These are
“Topical”
collectors. Come to the meeting and learn more!!

I know, I am beginning to sound like abroken record but there is a GOODREASON I keep touting PortugueseColonies Stamps. There is a PortugueseGuinea
Souvenir Sheet,
Scott270a,depicting
naked women andgrass huts,
which is severely under cataloged, at $67.50 mint or used. Lessthan 500 of these sheets were issued,making it a Must-Buy at $100.00 andunder.
