Just for history's sake, I want to set the record straight. The
original K-Martha by Legerdemaine was definitely NOT a traveling event
stamp but a hitch hiker. The enigmatic creator of this opus was never
a fan of the "box on the table" phenomenon that has become common at
gatherings. In fact, he has not been known to frequent gatherings at
all, at least not in a recognizeable personna. There have, however,
been several unconfirmed sightings over the years. I don't blame
anyone for wanting to own this stamp, a venerable piece of
letterboxing legend. Funhog

Im gonna make this quick:

1) first off, anyone bidding on this is not that smart an ebayer, look
at the replies to questions from the placer of the item.....proves it
is a fake..For anyone placing a bid on this item, you arent that smart.
(sorry) Maybe Ill post "wings" on ebay...Its clear there are buyers
out there, for bogus products...

2) just for giggles....lets say It's Martha's official stamp. Who
cares!.....She is a crook, and care less if Prsident Bush had a stamp.
Just dont understand why anyone would want this, If it were
real...Donate money to something worthy.


Good luck on all the bidders....suckers!
