You're not the 1st to come up against this. I'm going to check some dealer listings in PA.

Man, I really can't find much in your area. There are some small shows if you're interested in taking it there. Anybody know of a dealer in or around Pittsburgh?

I'm not sure how close these are to the Pittsburgh area, but Edelman's, Richard Friedberg, James J. Reeves, and Subway Stamp Store, are all located in Penn. I would probably just look in your yellow pages, find a couple of stamp dealers and take them there. If they agree on the Scott#, you can probably be pretty assured they are not scamming you.

If you can't find a dealer, you might check out the local stamp clubs. There should be several collectors that can help you identify your booklet pane. To find clubs in your area, go to "http://www.stamps.org/directories/dir_localclubs.htm" and then enter the state.

I saw in Linns that there is a stamp show for the Pittsburgh area coming up. I'll check the info if you want it.

There will be a very large one in 2009; the APS Show. Of course I know you don't want to wait that long.

Going to whichever show Jerry is mentioning would be a good idea; that way you don't have to drive all over to several dealers.
