Philatelic "Persian Rugs"

Just like people, stamps have nick names. Most U.S. collectors know a "Baby Zepp," and an "Inverted Jenny" when they see one.

But how about a "Blue Boy" or a "Persian Rug"?

All these and more can be found at an interesting philatelic website, Nick Names of Famous Stamps hosted by the Junior Philatelists on the Internet.
