On the web I came upon an article by a Brian D. Oakes at your address which 
referenced some kind of mischief associated with the Calhoun's Collectors 
Society and it's distribution of Haiti postage stamps. Back in 1979 I bought 
from Calhoun a Haiti commenorative set of Audobons that I'm told are listed in 
the Minkus catalog couldn't find it) under numbers 1392 through 1414. The 
Calhoun's "Certificate of Authenticity " identifies my purchase as " set No. 
11043 of the limited edition" of miniature sheet sets of "20,000 only". 
Frankly, I have no idea of what value, if any, this set may have today other 
than the beauty of the stamps themselves. If you are not in a position to 
hazard an informed guess as to the answer, would you kindly suggest to me the 
name of someone who might enlighten me. Thanks
