( http://www.linns.com/poll.asp )
Tell Us Now, a new interactive poll feature on linns.com.
This week, tell us ... In his Editor's Choice column, editor-publisher
Michael Laurence tells why he thinks illegal
stamps won't go away -- because they're easy for sellers to
create and easy for topical collectors to enjoy. What do you
think about such stamps or labels?
3. U.S. Stamp Popularity Poll
( http://www.linns.com/scripts/texis.exe/stamps/stamppoll00/ )
Welcome to Linn's 2000 U.S. Stamp Popularity Poll! This is
the fourth year the poll has been available online as well
as in print, and previous years' results were significantly
influenced by online ballots. Voting will continue until

leaders at any time.

aren't stamps. Senior editor Michael Baadke explains these
