1936 sports stamps

[Leon]

Nice to see the 1936 Sport Stamps (biased comment) getting a little love in REA ...even with a bit more common newspaper origins for the series. Nice looking ones, for sure. Congrats to the winner(s)....btw, these weren't my consignments.

Jason, thanks for the listing. I will catalog my stamps and post them in the near future. I have several but haven't taken the time to sort through them.

Jason: Thanks very much. I have increased the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph checklist from 156 to 213 by adding 57 new subjects from your listing. I now have 914 total stamps on my checklist covering several newspapers. I hope others can add to this list. Also looking to add additional papers from 1936
