I've been wondering how to collect them, and how to mount and display them in the BB, but don't really want to make some home-made pages, and just putting them all on the single page doesn't work well for me either (The Italian Agean issues have the same problem :().<br /><br />So, I've made a decision...in reading your blog, I decided to purchase the 2-volume set of the Minkus Supreme about a year ago, and it so happens that there is really nice coverage for the Feudatory States in the Minkus Supreme. So, to satisfy my checklist for the 22 additional Feudatory's I'll take 2 for each State off of my checklist, but I've decided to collect these issues in the Minkus instead of BB. Just seems like the right thing to do!<br /><br />So, thanks for the Blog as always, and thanks for the additional coverage you put together a while back on the other albums available....in this case it worked for me!<br />Ray McIntireRay McIntire, Springfield, TNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-57944538703502610562019-01-02T12:36:07.278-08:002019-01-02T12:36:07.278-08:00Abhay- sorry, I have no information on the issue.Abhay- sorry, I have no information on the issue.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-40056512086132526442018-12-30T06:58:49.598-08:002018-12-30T06:58:49.598-08:00Thanks Again.
