sforgca , The 1898 US Trans-Mississippi set is, by far, my favorite set as well and has been since I was a child..

The final piece of the pie, received earlier this year.

For anyone interested in this set, I highly recommend getting The Trans-Mississippi Issue of 1898 by Randy Neil and Jack Rosenthal.

Thank you for this reading suggestion! it seems very interesting and would definitely like to add it to my library. I have looked for it online and I saw that the softcover costs much more than the hardcover edition, which looks strange to me. Do you know if there is any difference between the two editions?
I am also trying to find a seller that doesn’t kill me with shipping to Italy, but I want to be sure that the two editions cover the same content.
Regards,
Gianluca

In fact, I wasn’t even aware that there was a hardcover.

Either copy the text you want to quote and put it between {quote} and {/quote}, substituting [] for {} in this example.
Or click quote, click on the "BBCode" tab at the bottom and deleting the image adress including the {img } surrounding it. Again, the {} should be read as []. I did the latter here.

1869 Pictorial Issues

For the first time in American postal history, something other than portraits of national leaders was being pictured on a stamp. These were the first US stamps to be printed using two colors.

One of my favourite sets is the Belgian "Coat of Arms" series issued between 1935 and 1948. I think they are elegant and represent the period in which they were issued. Another interesting part for me is that this series was active through 3 eras. The depression of the '30s, WWII, and the start of the Post War Era.
