SCF Round Robin #3

Did anyone find anything interesting

I'd like to kick of some comments/feedback with a big thankyou to AnthonyUK for organising and starting off the Round Robin, which I for one really enjoyed.
I was pleased with the variety and quality of the stamps. All the fun of kiloware, without the duds and dupes!
I was pleased to get the Canadian mental health stamp, after following the SCF thread about the competition to design the stamp. I also surprised myself by picking up some GB commems. I say surprise, as I keep telling myself I don't collect GB
A few holes filled in my USA, and a smattering of other nice stuff. That'll do nicely, thankyou very much!

I do have a confession, however. This will probably sound dumb... but I sometimes have problems distinguishing commems from definitives, from countries with which I am not so familiar. I know many definitive sets are glaringly obvious, but sometimes I found myself wondering about a stamp in the RR, or one I was looking to add to it. So I may have messed up on the commem-for-commem, defin-for-defin rule. Hopefully any errors cancelled each other out, plus I added a few extras to hide any mistakes

I'd be interested to hear roughly how many we all swapped, and how AnthonyUK finds the group he gets back compared with his original group. I swapped around 40.
All in all - looking forward to the next one!

Well stampgal, I have to admit I am in the same boat! In my mind, many of the current issues which are classified as definitive come close to being commemorative. You cannot judge by the image or text. It is the purpose and duration of the stamp issue that determines if it is a definitive or commemorative. Maybe we need a new classification - "crossover suv" - "stamp umbrella variety" - it covers everything.

I wouldn't be too concerned about mixing up. Genuine mistakes are fine.

I also get a tad mixed up with defins and commems..not always glaringly obvious.

I think I swapped about 30. All-in-all, very worthwhile and I'll definately do it again.

On its way back to you, AnthonyUK.

I swapped around 20

I think I found about 20 as well.

I deffinately would like to participate in another.

I have it back now. Thanks to everyone who participated.

When is the next one starting?

I'd be interested if anyone wants to start the next one.
