Ok time to beat myself with the chains again !! If you could see the wife and my internet watch lists..you would see what I mean..theres a lot of stuff of there at bargain basement prices..Davo country albums with stamps going for 40 bucks etc..i don't remember a time like this...lots of mouth watering stuff..yet when I try to sell something its like 10 percent selling and 90 percent buying..i should not bid so often ...but the deals are good !
There is in our very nature as human beings a capacity to conceive of and appreciate the beautiful, good and true things in life. The beauty instilled into well-designed stamps is not the least expression of that beauty we all desire, and it is all the better when it is more than just beauty to admire, but beauty which we can posess, hold and examine. Philately, then can help to satisfy the innate human desires during our journey through life.
I say this so as to discourage PhilB from self-flagellation, and encourage him to appreciate that a desire for stamps can be, in reality, an expression of desire for eternity.
There you have it Philb ! After Smauggie's beautiful rendition on life, the next time you see some mouth-watering stuff, just take that $40 out from your account and go for it.
