About Me

My concern is with stamps that �look� nice and also with completeness, history, research, and organization. If the stamp wound up with faults, that�fs just part of it�fs history. Heck, I have a few faults and am still a pretty nice guy; I think I �glook�h nice too!

Now the key though KNOWING you are buying seconds/faulty stamps. I pay anywhere from 5-12.5% or catalogue. At that rate, I�fm building a nice looking collection, can fill a lot of scarce spaces and own many stamps I would not really be happy paying more for. I am not collecting as an investment; it�fs a hobby and passion that I have loved since child hood an now in my 50�Œs enjoying even more.

I�fd like to see 10 spaces filled at 10% than one space paying 50-90% or more of catalogue value. It suits my goals and purposes, but again, you have to be aware of what you are doing.

What do you think?
