Tracy--let's get this topic out of the depths of Rodney's thread on French
paper. At:

http://cjoint.com/?ffsphtBwd2

there is Ruth and Gardner Brown's sketch from The Bordeaux Issue of
1870-1871, page 7. The 1975 Yvert Specialise points out that the letters
are "imperceptible" which means the same in French as in English. Y & T
clarifies this by saying the designer's name, YON, is little visible on the
stamps but very clear on the essays.

Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that
needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of
thing. 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?? I called a lawyer first. The lawyer
was a little skeptical that I would actually make any money but he
said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot
like a chain letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually
made it a legitimate legal business. 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR
IS IT MAIL FRAUD?....I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title18, h sections1302 NS 1341 of ...
