    Wonderful QSL cover...

    Attachment 3635

    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

    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.

    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.

    They still make 1 cent stamps.

    But not like those.
