If you've never checked out his site take a minute, its a pretty amazing collection of stamps.
I checked out that site, Phil, and you are right, truly amazing!

Now I could kick myself. Back in June, I was looking at a selection of poor condition loose/raw t205s on eBay, all via the same seller. Several were backstamped with a name and and an actual address from long, long ago! Looking on eBay just now, they are all gone.
