For each stamp issuing state, I am pleased to have type examples from both State and Departmental periods. IMO, Colombian States stamps help brighten up the historical image of the United States of Colombia and the early Republic of Colombia era.<br /><br />Gina S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469263840026657884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-32502117079114931312021-02-27T08:40:40.222-08:002021-02-27T08:40:40.222-08:00Thanks Ray for your comments regarding the Colombi...Thanks Ray for your comments regarding the Colombian States. Yes, I have quite a bit of Santander/Tolima/Cucuta that I need to show off, including those stamps that are no longer in Scott. But I will attend to other countries for awhile, then return when I have more enthusiasm. ;-)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-46098252492416012432021-02-27T08:09:03.159-08:002021-02-27T08:09:03.159-08:00I'm waiting....patiently...for Santander!

I've finished Cundinamarca and Boyaca and bought a nice Tolima collection in an auction out of Argentina, so Tolima is finished. But, just trying to find the Santander stamps that are not published in Scott (they are published in the '41 Scott Catalogue I found on eBay for $7), especially the Cucuta issues has been difficult, and is the fun part of the chase! And BTW, if you need any Tolima, please email me.... Thanks again for what you do, Jim, and Congrats again on your recent anniversary! Ray McIntire, Springfield, TNnoreply@blogger.com
