   Thanks Snappy!   
      
   You'd be surprised how many DO post the same "I'm not familiar with stamps   
   nor with stamp collecting" when there IS a local source of information!   
      
   Perhaps, in the future, you could disclaim that you've tried all local   
   available sources ... eh?   
      
   I do note that you did NOT mention you'd checked the catalogues in the LOCAL   
   or NEARBY library!   
      
   YES ... FWIW now, there are dealers and stamp club IN Memphis ...   
      
   Good luck anyway.
