Brian,
why are there provisionals in PNG?
David
Hi
PNG has a habit of running out of common stamps as you can see by the by the amount of up rated and down rated overprints.
This was a rate increase and instead of issuing various value new sets they just printed stamps to add to the older issues to make up the new rates.
Novel way to go I suppose.Like the Adelaide CPS stamps six 30c stamps to make up the 70c rate to the new $1-00 rate last year,as not many were done these sets are selling for over $2,000 a set.
Brian
I like your stamp cover Brian.
I agree.
It looks like it actually went through the mail Brian, am I right?

Brian,
Have to keep the PNG flag flying. Here is my cover of all ten of the Birds of Paradise overprints.Sorry about the angle.

Here's a cover I picked up for a few $$ on Delcampe .The chap didn't know what he had the 2 5t bird stamps are catalogued at $75.00 each.Due to the inscription on the base of the stamp July 1993 Bird of Paradise.
Brian
Well done Brian.Just goes to show that if you know what your looking at you can get a bargain now and again.
Sid
I have a handful of provisionals on cover, but I also look for the different imprints.
This arrived today. It carries the very scarce July 1993 K1 reprint. I'll be offering it to a new home.
David, when and where will it be offered up!!!!!
Regards,
Sid
Sid, if you're interested, PM me. Think of "retail" you'd pay, then take 20% off that and we'll see if we agree
I'd rather sell to someone who knows his stuff
David, Thank you for a very smooth transaction.Great cover.
