this one is real nice tho… it seems amazing that they would choose Haifa for the stamp…? or maybe I just don’t know the history…

Dan,
thanks for clarifying this, I remember seeing that stamp and thinking it was real.
Maybe we should do a section on clarifying false rumors that are flying around.
In any case, thanks for the correction!!!
