The rabbit (1967) is part of a set issued by the Canadian Mint
during Canada's centennial. They are the most beautiful series,
imho. I too have a mint set from way back then, encased in hard plastic.

Nice. I think I do too and a letter opener with some as well. 1967 was a big year!

The ship 25c 1966 what is on the other side? -+-

A younger ER II.

I do like the ship on it. I see it's from Bahamas. Makes you wish you went down there to get it.. say the beach.

My wife still has her stamps, but it was more of a hobby and just having different stuff, and not for 'value.' But she hasn't touched it in YEARS...

Oh that's great. That's how you have to look at it, more of a hobby. I like the picture or the backstory of why the stamp was issued, commemorative ones in particular. Those days where collections are
worth $$ have passed, it's usually on rare or older issued where the production run was not as high. One example of that is comic books and sports cards.

I don't collect cards, but comics? Oh yeah! LOL People that are not into collecting will see something old and worn (and maybe torn) and think
becasue it's old it's valuable, but that's not the case at all.

And recent stuff? Cover value, except for low print run alt covers and
key issues...

I'm remembering the movie "Charade" with Cary Grant and
Audrey Hepburn.

I just finished watching it in 3 late-night sessions over the
course of a week.

[spoiler]:

Gur uvqqra "zbarl" vf npghnyyl ener cbfgntr fgnzcf gung
jrer cynprq ba na rairybcr ohg arire frag. Rirelbar gb

It was a cute film. Grant at 59 at the time was obviously having
fun in that role. Hepburn only 34 was still quite a beauty.

The plot has several weaknesses. [1] There is no explanation how
the original $250K in gold "converts" itself into the [cbfgntr
fgnzcf]. I'd be more interested in WHO still has the gold. How
can anyone truly anticipate that something like [cbfgntr fgnzcf]
would even retain value much less increase to $250K over time.
[2] The fake CIA director: security must be really slack at the
American Embassy if an imposter can just walk in and occupy an
office! [3] The kid. His voice didn't seem to fit. It sounded
like it was just dubbed in by an adult trying to sound like a
kid [4] The rooftop action fight scene. At one point Grant is
just hanging by his fingers over the edge. Then a split second
later you see the hooked-hand antagonist flipping backwards
hitting a wall. There is no explanation how Grant got his
footing back on the roof.

In all, the film looked like a charming exercise to pair Grant
and Hepburn into a pseudo thriller trying to be a romantic-
comedy at the same time [1] the shower scene, and [2] the funny
face he makes as the true Embassy official.

really. I will have to look into that movie. I really like Cary Grant too so that works. -+- SBBSecho 3.12-Linux

Finished watching it last night after 3 sessions. You really
don't learn much about philately in that one. The closeups and
the brief explanation by the merchant where pretty good though.
