[Boatanchors] FS: lot of 26 DX QSL Cards 1950s (Mostly) 1960s

[Richard W. Solomon]

When you delve into the area of what is collectible, you can find some 
very strange places. The old saw, ..."one mans treasure, etc"... is true.

But, you can find treasure in old QSL cards. I usually search piles of 
old cards I see at swap meets and sometimes find the postage stamp used 
is valuable. I have two copies of the Scott catalog # 599A that I found 
on old cards. These are not your garden variety stamps.
I keep an eye out for 3c purple Washington coils, check out "Orangeburg" 
Coil !!

A collection of QSL Cards from Deleted Countries would make quite a display.
Has anyone collected all the deleted ones ? Probably harder than 5BWAZ !!
