I've not yet checked for watermarks, but will. My #24 may be of the light-blue-on-white-paper variety.<br /><br />I've not seen a Korean drama in recent years. Your comment about them prompts me to do so again. My closest friend from graduate school days is Korean. He and his wife always claimed that Koreans are the Italians of the Pacific -- i.e., very dramatic. Because of them, I'm addicted to Korean cuisine.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202098671443782842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-42360737296268721392019-09-02T19:03:09.667-07:002019-09-02T19:03:09.667-07:00Really enjoyed the commentary on Korea and its his...Really enjoyed the commentary on Korea and its history. Its stamps have become a particular interest for me, probably mostly motivated by my enjoyment over the past two to three years of a large number of Korean dramas of which I have become a definite fan (I think I have watched over 30 series completely through and a couple as many as four times, all with English subtitles thank goodness!).albumfillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393321322958144500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-41524013090810702382019-09-02T14:38:41.683-07:002019-09-02T14:38:41.683-07:00A nice page once again.

It's getting harder and more expensive to complete Big Blue's Korea as time goes on.<br /><br />Scott notes the "reprints" of these, but I think that there are more than the 4000 printed for modern presentation booklets -- they turn up too frequently. <br /><br />And other than those being watermarked(!), their paper is very bright white and very modern-looking. Easily detected if you know what to look for. <br /><br />- hy-brasilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
