[Leica] OT : Against my better judgement-storing stamps

[glehrer at san.rr.com (Jerry Lehrer)]

Mr Nola,

First of all, know that the Leitz NOOKY will not focus close enough to 
have the stamp anywhere near full frame.  You need something better than 
that.

I am NOT a numismatist, but I think that the stamps should be left on 
the envelopes.  If not, then a tepid water soak should float them off,  
Do not peel!
