ok nice stuff chris & tho i meant our tripoint stamp collection of 3 items to date was of actual scenes of tripoints illustrated on the stamps including an actual tripoint marker in one case rather than just maps depicting or suggesting these tripoints your stamp is quite remarkable anyway in that it does clearly map not just 1 but 2 exclaves our first & second such ever shown here if i am not mistaken & a great idea in itself & i realize there are probably many stamps showing claves on maps especially enclaves so clave map stamps in general might not be so exciting & there are probably many stamps showing exclaves on maps too since even tiny maps of whole countries generally do include their largest & most obvious exclaves like i am sure it wouldnt be hard to find a stamp map of angola including cabinda

http://exclave.info/Current/Cabinda/CabindaOnaStamp.jpg or of the usa with alaska etc etc so even exclave map stamps in general might not be so exciting but how many more exclave map stamps could there be that are expressly devoted to featuring the exclaves themselves alone whether individually or jointly as in this case without even taking notice of their metropole countries at large this must be quite a small collection indeed of which you may well have already provided the leading & most characteristic example a cute little bunch of cute little things on cute little things just to bring it back into a multidimensional perspective but are there in fact any others of this narrowly defined type that could be found anywhere --- In BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com, "chris schulz" <23568@g...> wrote: > Yes, i know one, you can see it at http://www.home.pages.at/maxifant/Frames/nachitschewan.jpg > it shows the exklave of nachitschewan and the enclave of karki. > compare this with http://www.home.pages.at/maxifant/Frames/armenia.gif > > so if i counted right, there are three tripoints, although they are not shown. > > regards, chris > ----- Original Message ----- > From: aletheiak > To: BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 4:29 PM > Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re: Baarle: Latest > > > hahahaha > > seriously tho > can you add any tripoints on postage stamps to the 3 we already > think we may have found > > bedenl > dzlytn > cdrwug > > --- In BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com, "L.
