20000

My stamp database tally count went passed 20000 stamps today.  There has been an acceleration, in that the current batch I am following came from a source where they insisted on any stamp that was to be included was a triple ie either three horizontally or vertically, which also means the valuations are tripled as well.  I have no such requirement. One stamp will do me but if they come in tres, I will take them. This lot relate to Norfolk Island, an Australian Island, so right in my focus.  I am also on the trail of a Penny Black at one of the auctions I follow. This is already being keenly contested (two weeks to go) but it is the first time I have noticed one up for auction.  I imagine it will be a bit worn out as it would not be for sale here.
