            NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS - JANUARY 7, 2026

     Belated Merry Christmas & Happy New Year; I hope your holidays were pleasant.
     I've been promising you some action on the Mercantile Issues (U400-419) by UPSS #, and in December, I finally kept a bit of that promise.
     It's not as easy as it sounds.  You wouldn't think that a mere 20 Scott numbers could generate so much work.  But the huge lots I bought a few years ago were put together by the ancient ones LONG BEFORE I got my hands on them.  In the "good old days", most collectors weren't all that fussy... and the condition I deliver is in line with what collectors of TODAY want... which often requires much weeding out of junk.... which is where most of my cut squares and full corners come from.
 
    BY THE WAY, I've significantly upgraded my FULL CORNER listings between U446 and U521.
  
     So for now, I have some new items listed, as well as a few which I had in stock for awhile, but sold out years ago.... and now I have them in stock again.  You can check out my listings of "NEW INVENTORY" - top line in the column at the left.

          Best Regards.
