The beaver is a proud and noble animal

For the past year or so, I’ve been “arguing” with my folks about a stamp album that I used to have, which they have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing. I’ve been trying to find it on Google and eBay, and it was coming up to the point where I was convincing myself that I had to be wrong, and the rest of the world was right, and maybe somehow I’d just imagined the whole thing. It didn’t seem possible. Well, boo-yah, suck it bitches!!!

My Google-fu has come back, and I managed to find it. Behold, the 1986 Canada Stamp (Scott #1107i) – Henry Hudson / Discovery of the Hudson Bay 34¢, pink print flaw edition.

and the normal, flawless version:

Notice the lack of the pink blotch, middle-left.

So, hopefully now this will jog my parents’ memory and they’ll remember where they “filed” it :)

Seriously though, it goes to show that the information is out there, but without the right search phrase, you’ll find nothing (or everything else).
