So come tothe Club to learn more about thisstamp! 
BEGINNERSCORNER
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
This
is an excellent rule of thumb for
overprinted stamps
: if a stamp catalogues
more 
money
without 
an
overprint 
, it is probably,
genuine
. If the
overprinted
stampcatalogues
more
,
Caveat Emptor ( 
buyer beware
 )!
I would get a certificateif I were you!
Say what? You’er not coming to the Club? Why not? Don’tbe afraid, come and learn about history on stamps, its fun,
Free
and Educationalbring the kids, bring a friend !!!!
