I am happy to oblige; a little thank-you for your work ;) The "P" on the Canadian stamps on the cover indeed represents "permanent". The 1933 50 cent Canada stamp is of the Grand Pre church, about a 20' drive from my home and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. in 1755, the British deported the Acadians (the French) from the land after the Acadians refused to pledge allegiance to the British, they wished to remain neutral. Many ended up in Louisiana in the U.S. and became what are now known as "Cajuns". And yup, those are the Faroe Islands which I collect. They have some gorgeous stamps. Isle of Man is another interest of mine. I hope I don't send you duplicates in the next package. Franklin is a children's series of books that were also animated in Canada. Winnie the Pooh has a close Canadian connection and A.A. Milne's birthday was just this week as well. The name Winnie comes from the Canadian city of Winnipeg. I couldn't remember what I sent you so I am glad you enjoyed it!

The Soviet Union souvenir sheet with the 1967 date commemorates Expo 67 World’s Fair in Montreal Quebec Canada. The map on the sheet is the two artificial islands built in the Saint Lawrence River for the World’s Fair, while the building shown was the Soviet pavilion at the Fair. The Fair celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of Canada becoming a united country. Most of the Fair buildings have been demolished, including the Soviet Pavilion, which was the most popular one at the fair. Part of one of the islands (Ile Norte Dame) is the site of the Canadian Grand Prix Formula One race.

John, look for Various sheets, made by Lighthouse. They have black double sided stock pages from 1 to 8 pockets per page. Very high quality for stamp storage.

[@johncollectsstamps]

Will do, thanks.

[@SnailmailwithSmokey]

Excellent video! To answer your question yes, you can buy black stock pages with 2 pockets. I buy them for my first day covers. They are on Ebay and Amazon here in the US as "2S stamp stock pages" they come in a variety of pack sizes from 5 sheets to 100. Lighthouse VARIO makes some good ones. I hope this helps.

Thanks Smokey!

+1 on the Vario pages. I have them in several different configurations. Makes it easy to customize your collection.

[@mjones3860]
