Phil, I think that set of three semi-postals is a new addition to the Scott catalogs. Not sure when, but within the past couple of years.

Rule of thumb, Phil, never go by what is written or even printed on a glassine unless you wrote it yourself. I suspect many of us reuse glassines over and over. I do, although I usually try to cross out what was previously within. Just because it says postally used Guam Overprints is no guarantee it is not from Grenada of the Grenadines.
Being cheap, and a believer in environmental re-use of paper products I never throw away a glassine unless the flap and at least one side is torn.
Or for that matter those 5" x 2½" approval cards either. I was just using one with advertizing from Vahan Mozian a well known Stamp dealer in New York who had a shop on Fifth Avenue from the 1920s through the 1950s. The card is more interesting than the stamps tucked in the slots on the front.
I wonder what stamps it held over the almost 100 years. It looks like penciled identifications have been erased more than once.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
