European Stamp Prices & News

This blog is a part of a larger site from a company in New York that specializes in buying and selling British Commonwealth stamps from before 1960.

The good news: the blog’s posts are long, detailed and informative, with pictures of interesting stamps and errors that the owners come across. The bad news: the posting frequency is dreadful; since June 2006, there have only been 28 posts. Often months go by without a peep.

But that doesn’t change the quality of the posts that are there. Highly specific, they are good for research if your research happens to lead you to those narrow avenues covered by the blog. (For example, one post begins promisingly, “I have wanted to write on the topic of the many shade varieties of the Falkland Islands for several weeks.”)

As a blog, it’s difficult to praise it too much since there isn’t much material. But as a series of interesting web pages, it is recommended. I couldn’t find any RSS feed, but it might be worth bookmarking and checking back to every few weeks. The blog seems to be Wordpress or something similar; the layout and design is customized and pretty pleasant. Comments are disabled, unfortunately; so the sense of community is nil. Just enjoy it for the information, which may fill the occasional hole in your research, but obviously will never approach comprehensiveness on any subject.
