phil stamp
''can anyone answer the question on what you can or can't do to improve the condition of a stamp, i have just purchased a penny black for my son(mainly because it was his initials) and it is badly thinned, is there anything i can do about it or is it best to leave as it is as i do not wish to devalue the stamp but it seems a shame that you can't do anything. I guess''that you can't do anything, but there may be something you can do that i haven't heard of, i collected for years and never even thought of stamp maintainance apart of the fact that my more valueable stamps instead of being hinged are enclosed in a proper stamp folder holder (may have wrong wording but you will know what i mean, if anyone can help i would be most grateful or maybe i've just brought a donkey? thanks again

 * As far as I know there is nothing you can do about thin stamps - just make sure it is nicely protected to keep it safe. Bethel23 14:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
