Every once in a while, something really unique seems to happen. I prefer direct QSL (to the extent that I really do QSLs) and I have specified that no greenstamps or SAE is required.

This envelope was included with a QSL card I recently received from a ham in Germany (whose name I have deleted as a courtesy). I was tempted not to send it back! The stamps are amazing, and I hope the board lets them be seen clearly.

I got something like that from a ham that needed my gridsquare in a bed way. I really need to print new cards. The ones I have are my old callsign from pre 1996

US postage 1c? Yeah, I'd say they're old.

I can see it now................ World News.............

A German citizen struck it rich today when an American Ham radio operator sent him a card with very old and valuable stamps attached. The World WarII era stamps were made twice as valuable when they received a 2010 post mark. :lol: :lol:

The guy sent ME the envelope with the stamps pre-attached. That's what an SAE is, fellers. I would not have been more surprised had I found a goat turd in my refrigerator.

That being the case, UTs are standing by.

They still make 1 cent stamps.

But not like those.

He probably expects them back postmarked?

It's a test Albi. Screw up and you will vanish.

Not something that ever happens to me. NOBODY needs CA for his WAS and my grid square is densely populated with hams. Or populated with dense hams. Probably both.
