Here’s a very well centered 1857 3¢ type III (Scott 26), a very rare occurrence in this issue. This was the first perforated issue in the US, so well-centered stamps are truly an exception

Here’s a philatelic mystery. If you can solve this, you have truly magic philatelic powers. Make sense of this unsealed 1982 cover: “First class/Third class mail enclosed”. Why such an endorsement? Why insure an unsealed letter? What’s the story?

I like collecting commemoratives on non-philatelic covers paying exact rate + fees. Here’s a scarce Panama-Pacific use: 5¢ + 10¢ = 15¢ registered letter to Italy

The @DoorDash CEO @tonyxu is too cheap to even get a checkmark for @DoorDash_Help, leaving customers vulnerable to scammers impersonating support

As an immigrant, I find few things cause more anti-immigrant sentiment than when people you deal with can't communicate and follow instructions in their job due to lack of basic English skills. Companies hire cheap labor but create anti-immigrant resentment #doordash #fail

This is pretty wild. Denmark will no longer carry any letters starting from 2026, only parcels. They’re calling this efficiency, but to me this looks like diminished state capacity. Digital networks are fragile. Physical networks are much more robust postnord.dk/en/postnord-wi…

I go back to school today. Amazingly, the nearest Royal Mail has ever got to issuing a stamp celebrating school is this LS Lowry painting (1967, British Painters).

Two advertising covers from 1850s (both sometimes between 1852 and 1855). Envelope folding machines were invented just a few years ago, and advertising on envelopes was a very new phenomenon back then

The priority mail service by @USPS used to be a good service. Sadly, it’s a complete scam these days. They promise delivery within 3 business days, but in my experience, that’s a complete myth now
