| | Alphabetilately: Wyman Local Post |
 | | Contrary to popular belief, the Wyman's Local stamp was indeed sold singly (at 6 cents) and in bulk (5 cents, a 1 cent saving) directly to patrons. |
 | | The fact that it was sold in multiples to customers is evidenced by the "20 For One Dollar" printed on the stamp itself, and confirmed by contemporary ads Wyman placed, copies of which I have, in both Boston and New York city papers of the day. |
 | | But in 1995 the Scott publishing firm replaced most of the forgeries in the locals section of the Scott catalogue, more than 50 cuts in all, using shots with my permission, from my exposé article for the Penny Post, which I founded and was editor of during the 1990s. |
