First Issues - USA
It will take me a
while to save up for the USA #1. While, we're getting there, the #1 and #2
stamps were reproduced on a miniature sheet in 1947 for the Centenary Philatelic
Exhibition in New York. The sheet shows the stamp in the wrong colours
(presumably to avoid fraudulent temptations), but its a start and here's the
sheet.
