  • CENTS is doubled in this one.
  • I am missing two stamps (10c and 30c) from having a complete CTO set of 195-208.  I have a complete CTO set of O127-40.  I have been trying to put together a non-CTO sets but it is proving to be a little difficult. Travis
  • I have the 2011 Classic catalog and it is still only about 7 pages.
  • Welcome Korsbecker! Although we are a small group, there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum and I have learned a lot. Manfred has done a great job with this website. Feel free to join in any of the discussions. Travis
  • Hi Manfred, Sorry if I was defensive. I value your opinion and you had me worried that you may be thinking it was a forgery. I will try to get some more images up later.
  • Hi Manfred, I looked through my list of purchases and I couldn't find where I bought this so I may have gotten it in a larger lot.  It does have a small piece of paper that has notes on it which is typical of Henry.  It says "Scott 128 1913 Britis…
  • Great forum thread!  I thought I would add a scan as well. Travis
  • You are right about climate because most of the 1918 set that I have or have seen that are postally used are from the mid to late 1920s.  So they were sitting around somewhere waiting to be used. :-) Thanks, Travis

    in Why Liberia? Comment by Travis May 2016
  • After checking with several other members of the Liberian Philatelic Society it seems that all the large envelopes are 228mm x 101mm, NOT 109mm as is stated in all the literature mentioned above.  If anyone finds one that is 109mm, please let me kno…
  • I checked all of my large envelopes and they are all 101mm as well.  It is odd that Shoemaker, Rogers and von Saleski all only mention 109mm in their books.  I will check with some more LPS members and post the findings here. Thanks! Travis
  • Hi Manfred, Thanks for the info!  I can see how you could get multiple variations by running the stamps through for three different overprints, especially if they are doing half sheets.  One example that I was referring to is in the Jan-Mar 2011 L…
  • Hi Albert,  I will look through my collection and post anything of interest.  As you know, there are quite a few varieties of each of those!  #64 alone could keep you busy for years.  :-) Travis
  • Hi Albert, After a break from collecting all together, I am back and trying to get back up to speed on all that has been going on in the Liberian philatelic world.  It may take a little while as I dust off my collection but I am looking forward to…
  • Another missing overprint but this one is CTO....
  • Missing overprint...
  • Hi Manfred, I haven't talked to you in a long time.  I am attaching some of my O149 errors.  Very similar to yours but mine are on the darker paper. Here is my double overprint.
