has anyone heard of the Mystic Stamp Company?
|
I went thru a spell some years ago getting back into collecting stamps. Mystic STmap Co. was one of these "on demand" sellers. THey'd send you a packet with different stamps from aroudn the world. You paid for what you wanted and sent the rest back in a pre-paid envelope.
anyway, I was tidying up around the house a little while ago and found a small box w/ some of the stamps I'd bought back then. This was probably 15 yrs ago give or take.
I started looking through what I had, and discovered quite a few "shares" (most of 1000) ... these were "points" that you earned as you bought more stamps from them. Every time you buy some of the stamps, they include a little slip with 5, 20, 50, 100 shares ... whatever you'd earned that time around. It was like a redeemable points thing where you could later turn in points for stamps you wanted instead of having to pay money for them.
anyway, I'm going to do some digging and see if the company is still in business. If so, i'm going to see if these "shares" are still good to be turned in. I might score myself some new stamps to compliment the small collection that I have.
