ISSUE 176 - August 1, 2025 - Stamp News Online Magazine
The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)
Greetings!
Another enjoyable month, pulling together this edition, with the six pieces listed in our Table of Contents.
Meanwhile, I would like to focus on one little nugget, our Fabulous Firsts piece on Lubeck. We started with a great article by B.W.H. Poole, then turned to our resources for images to supplement the text. Fortunately one resource is Wikipedia, where I was able to find a complete set of images of GENUINE stamps…searching the web can be treacherous as not all images are of the genuine originals, particularly when there are authorized reprints that vary from the originals. The Wikipedia study was created by experts who also provided images of genuine stamps that matched Poole’s descriptions.
It’s always especially enjoyable when things fall together nicely.
Enjoy!
