THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN"
- Harold Wasserman -
Case 5: The Case of the "Star-Cross'd Lovers"
For Case 5 we are taking a few poetic liberties with our title. If you recall your high school Shakespeare, perhaps you will recall the Prologue to "Romeo and Juliet", in which Shakespeare refers to "A pair of star-cross'd lovers" and ends it with "The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend". Case 5 will not bring up the mysteries of love potions; however, it most definitely will bring up a few mysteries surrounding a pair of stars and crosses on a famous set of sport stamps.
I would imagine that almost all collectors of sports stamps are acquainted with the two sets of stamps which Uruguay issued in 1924 and 1928 to celebrate the soccer victories in the Olympic Games of those years. I wonder how many know that the second set (1928) was also issued for official use. Unfortunately, "Scott" has only this note at the end of Its listing of Uruguay officials:
"Since 1928, instead of official stamps, Uruguay has used envelopes with "S.O." printed on them and stamps of many issued which are punched with various designs such as star or crescent".
It is also unfortunate that many collectors probably do not possess a "Landmans" which illustrates these punches. The first type is a five-pointed star. The second is commonly referred to as a Maltese cross, although technically it probably resembles a pattee cross more than a Maltese cross.
"Landmans" Indicates that Type II (the Maltese cross) is slightly more valuable than

2 THE CASES OP THE "DIRTY DOZEN" (Cont'd)
Type I (the star). Of Type II, the two centavo and the eight centavo are the scarcer values; of Type I, the five centavo Is the scarcest of the three.
Since these stamps were for official use, any unused copies are of the "back door" variety. Multiples exist, as do copies with double punches.
The mysteries I would like cleared up are these:
1. Why were both the star and the cross used on the same set? Who had charge or control of the punching and is there any particular significance to the star or the cross? As a guess I would assume that the punches were applied at various times, depending on the supply available.
2. Can anyone supply an estimate of the quantities punched? These stamps are not easy to locate and are usually found at the end of a dealer's stock book or counter book of Uruguayan stamps. It is quite difficult to put together a complete set of both the star and the cross piercings. The centering on this soccer set is notoriously bad anyway; if you manage to locate copies with the punches, take them. Don't worry about the centering. There is no floating supply of these.
3. When were these stamps first put into use and when was their use discontinued? The only legible dates on my copies are 1930 (June and October). Undoubtedly they had a much longer life span than that.
4. Where and how were these stamps used? Again, the only legible copies I have show Montevideo as the place. Across the top of each cancellation reads "Oflcial Y Prensa". I have not seen entire covers, although they must exist.
I am sure that some of our SPI members, especially those in South America, can help solve the mystery of the "star-cross'd" lovers. And to paraphrase Shakespeare, "What here I did miss, your toil shall strive to mend".

Tip of the month—Hungary 1160-67.

Tipped i n t h i s column In March, 1964, t h i s s e t r e t a i l s a t 60£, which i s a l s o the p r i c e charged by American w h o l e s a l e r s .

perfect examples of t h i s and we must remember tha t they wi l l be l i s t e d In next y e a r ' s "Stanley Gibbons" catalogue, thereby increasing co l l ec to r demand.
Souvenir sheets of Dominican Republic 474-78 and 097-9. Issued i n 1957 to honor winners of the Olympic Games gold medal, there were 25,000 sheets i ssued, both perforate and imperforate. American r e t a i l e r s charge $7*00 for the two sheets , but London dealers ask $24.50 and Par i s i an dealers get #29.00. I wi l l not quote American wholesale pr ices for these (and other) Dominican Republic sheets because I am not sure tha t the wholesalers can ac tua l ly supply them.
Souvenir sheets of Dominican Republic 479-83 and C100-02. These sheets honored the non-Communist winners of gold medals a t the 16th Olympiad, held a t Melbourne. Some 12,500 sheets were issued, both perforate and imperforate, which i s Just one-half the quanti ty of the f i r s t Issued (mentioned above). American r e t a i l e r s charge $9-00 for the two shee ts , but London dealers ask $21.00 and French dealers get $29.00.
Souvenir sheets of Dominican Republic 484-88 and C103-15. S t i l l more non-Communist winners of the 16th Olympiad are honored on these stamps, issued in an ed i t ion of 25,000 shee t s , both perforate and imperforate. Available for $5.50 from American r e t a i l e r s , these sheets cost $12.60 in London, although French dealers get $18.50 for them.
Souvenir sheets of Dominican Republic 501-05 and C106-08. This was the th i rd (and l a s t ) issue which honored the non-Communist winners of the 16th Olympiad. Presumably the co l lec to rs were ge t t ing t i r ed of these i s sues , so only 12,500 se ts of sheets were printed (one-half the previous quan t i t y ) . Issued in 1958, the new issue price was approximately $2.00, but American r e t a i l e r s now charge $3.50 for these shee t s . Pr ices in Europe are not much higher; London dealers get $4.20 and French dealers ask $5.70. Of the four issues mentioned here, t h i s pa i r of sheets i s undoubtedly the best buy i f you can get them at the $3.50 price charged by many American r e t a i l e r s .
Hungary 1057-61 and 0123-27. Issued in 1953 to commemorate the opening of the new People 's Stadium in Budapest, t h i s se t i s desirable for several reasons: printed in handsome mul t i - co lo r s , diamond shapes, includes a i rmai l denominations, and one value depicts soccer. In addi t ion there are many dedicated co l l ec to r s of Hungarian stamps, both i n Hungary and elsewhere, as well as co l lec to rs of European stamps, a l l of whom wi l l need t h i s s e t . Tipped in March of 1964, I find tha t the American r e t a i l price i s s t i l l $1.75, a l though the wholesale price in New York has increased from $1.30 in 1964 to $3*50 today. Dealers in London get $3.90 for t h i s s e t , but $4.80 i s charged by French dea le r s . These fac ts should help to make you rea l ize how under-valued t h i s se t i s on the American r e t a i l market.
Hungary CI58-65. Of a l l the Issues mentioned in t h i s month's column, t h i s set i s the most a t t r a c t i v e of The l o t . Issued in 1955, presumably for no special reason other than to par t co l l ec to r s from t h e i r cash, these stamps depict winter spor t s , such as ice ska t ing, sk i ing , sledding, Ice hockey, and ice yachting. Tipped in March of 1964, the r e t a i l price has Increased from $1.50 to $2.00, although American wholesalers get $2.55 for t h e i r s e t s . Dealers in London and Par is both charge $4.00, which i s exactly twice the current American r e t a i l p r i c e .
Paraguay 556-59 and 0262-64. Soccer aficionados dote on t h i s s e t , of which only 50,000 complete se ts were Issued in I960 to honor the 17th Olympiad in Rome. Although i s -
