Shown here are 267 used stamps of the US including 24 pairs, four of which are se-tenant, three strips of 3, two strips of 4, three blocks of 4, one of which is se-tenant, one block of 6, one block of eight composed of se-tenant pairs, and a booklet pane of 8. The lone Philippine stamp was a welcome surprise!
This lot was hammered down to me for.....guess what.....36 pesos (!) during today's auction of the APO Philatelic Society held at Manila. It was sold in a sealed glassine envelope, so no one knew exactly what the contents were.
Some two dozen bidders participated in this 462-lot sale offering philatelic and nonphilatelic items. There was some kind of a rally outside at the Liwasang Bonifacio with a louder volume for the microphone than that of the auctioneer's!
