This isn't odd enough for 'Minor Strangeness'...or maybe it is.
A couple of months back, I bought a small transparent plastic bag of collectors' stamps at a car boot sale (is this called a trunk sale in North America?)
I don't do this as a hobby anymore, not since I was about 10, but my S.O. does (they are not hugely-keen, but it's a thing they've always done).
I could see through the bag that there were many old British pre-decimal commemoratives in there, some mint unused, some cut from envelopes complete with the franking/cancellation marks.
Absolutely a mixed bag, I thought. And there I left it. How right I was in this conclusion only became apparent just over a week ago. (To be continued, sorry, am too tired just now, to be finished-off soon)
