Great White Shark

Hi all,

I am new to stamp collecting and I was thinking of starting a stamp collection of the Great White shark.

May you help me with a list of countries that have released stamps for this fish.

Thanks

Amr

Hi Amr,
they are pretty thin on the ground.

Liberia, Mozambique and Canada

Aha: also known as the "White Pointer" (Carcharodon carcharias)
so Australia
SG1826 (1998) T0596 45c fauna white pointer shark.

try Googling with text string "Great White" and "stamps" then selecting "images"
Hope this assists.







Ciskei :

Don't forget this set, that came out in 2006.

Amr, try going to this website... http://www.freestampcatalogue.com/app
Select "existing stamps by topic"
Then select "fish"
you can then choose to search by year or country.

Have fun.

Oh and here is another shark series for you..


Steve

Thanks Steve :)

(but,..the second group of sharks do not include the carcharias)

These are very beautiful rod222

Thanks for the link Steve, i'll try it and I bet i'll come back with many questions

Amr

Great link Steve

Is this site considered like Krause and world coin gallery?

I mean regarding values and issues?

Amr, I don't think so...this is a forum of people who love stamp collecting and exchanging information on their collections....

Thanks philb

After spending about 3 hours searching the link and googling for stamps, I can really say that I am interested in stamp collecting.

This is ofcourse besides the headache I feel right now.

I am not familiar with the proper terminology so please feel free to correct me anytime.

i think my other hobby (drawing) has influenced my choices, because the stamps I like were for landscape painting such as those chinese stamps

these are extremely beautiful

bytheway is it normal that a stamp doesn't have serrations on its sides?

It depends on the stamp. The stamps you showed from Bhutan were issued imperforate, and I believe as 3-D images.

ships also have great looking stamps. I like that one, may be its the antique looking

i also like the idea of the stamp being part of a picture, wether it completes it or not.....


I dont know what you experts call it so please educate me

Steve; I think I opened the "can of worms" LOL

So, I think this is a nice topic or theme that I would be interested to collect "ofcourse beside the Great white theme".

Stamps being a part of a picture showing a beautiful drawing or image more or less with an antique "old" appearance.

Is there a name for this topic or theme?

and what would you advice me about my start... what to read? buy? and how to save, preserve and display my stamps?

I no nothing about stamp collecting and I am waiting for you all to educate me.

Thanks

Amr

Thanks Khj for the info
