Dear Fellow Stamp Collector,The start of a new year is a great time to embark on a new collecting

adventure. Read on to see some of the neat collecting opportunities wehave in this edition of Mystic Stamp Highlights.Collecting Back-of-the-Book stamps can be a challenging and

rewarding experience. Named so because they’re listed after the regular-issue and commemorative stamps in Scott’s and othercatalogs, these are distinctive stamps. For instance, postage duestamps (offered on pages 6 and 7) were introduced in 1879 to indicateinsufficient postage. These stamps feature the beautiful engravingthat collectors love. Other Back-of-the-Book stamps, such as the

Officials on pages 22 and 23, were issued exclusively for government use. I’m also excited to offer you the chance to keep your worldwide collection up-to-

date. On page 20 you’ll find a convenient listing of some neat mint stamp sheetshonoring a wide range of topics and anniversaries. These include Queen Elizabeth,Pope Benedict XVI, Margaret Thatcher, Harriet Tubman, Constellations, AncientRome and more. So relax and enjoy exploring this edition of Mystic Stamp Highlights.

Sincerely,

Few regular issue series are as complex as those of the late 1800s. There are various engrav-ing “types” plus differences in both paper and color. Identifying look-alike stamps can be tricky– but it’s also very rewarding. The listings on the next few pages can help. Use this handy guideto identify the stamps you need to complete your U.S. stamp sets from the 1890s. CONDITION: As you might expect with stamps over 100 years old, these classic U.S. stampswill have one or two minor imperfections, such as a crease or small tear. They are priced accordingly – up to 50% off Mystic’s U.S. Stamp Catalog price. These are desirable stamps andthe defects do not detract from their beauty or collectibility. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
