Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo


Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Warner Home Video, 1944, NTSC1 (Region Code 1), B & W, 139 mins.

This particular title was out-of-stock when I'd ordered the DVD from an online store in the USA. I'm glad it was delivered by airmail to me three days ago after a waiting period of nearly two months.

Singapore, Polymer $5 Portrait, 1 Stack of 100 Consecutive Running Serial Numbers 2ED 096111 to 2ED 096210, UNC, Scarce. SOLD!

It ain't easy to find a stack of 100 pieces of polymer banknotes like this 'coz the printing defect rate is rather high.

Singapore $24 for Three Polymer Banknotes


Having received S$24 cash in a registered airmail from an overseas customer living in Taiwan, I'd sent out these three pieces of uncirculated polymer banknotes without any delay in the afternoon.

We have a fair deal of trading paper banknotes for polymer banknotes across the borders of two countries in the name of the hobby of banknote collecting.

Of course I'd made some profit in this process, and so had the post-offices.

Singapore $24 from Taiwan


I'd received S$24 cash in a registered airmail from Taiwan today.

An overseas customer living in Taiwan has wanted to buy three pieces of Singapore polymer banknotes ($2, $5, and $10) in uncirculated condition.

He has paid me the cash for the cost of the three pieces of banknotes ($17), the cost of airmail postage and packing material ($3), and of course some reasonable profit for my effort ($4).

USA, 1928 $1 Silver Certificate


USA, 1928A, $1 Silver Certificate, UNC. SOLD!

This is a very scarce piece of $1 Silver Certificate in crisp uncirculated condition.

It's an excellent quality stuff for the discerning collector who has the exquisite taste for the fine art of paper money collecting.

I've sold this piece of paper money to a bidder (from USA) on Yahoo! Auctions Singapore two days ago, after keeping it in my collection for 27 years.

Singapore Portrait $20 Polymer Banknotes


Singapore, ND (2007), Portrait $20 Polymer, sign. GCT, 4 Consecutive Numbers 0AB 258321~24, Uncirculated.

A local bank has required every customer to fill in a paper slip when exchanging for a maximum of only two (2) pieces of these newly-released polymer banknotes.

Fortunately, I'd got a good friend who's my loyal and regular customer to help me to queue for another two pieces of such banknotes. Thus I'd managed to exchange four (4) pieces of banknotes bearing four consecutive running numbers.

I wish I could have got that elusive piece bearing the serial number of 0AB 258325 to make five pieces of nice running numbers. But you can't ask for too much, can you?
