Silly Little Pieces Of Paper

on the surface they may look like silly little pieces of paper..but once you are introduced to them..you enter a learning phase that NEVER ends..we can collect for 70 years and only scratch the surface ! A fellow in our stamp club has a wife who doesnt undertand how he can go into his stamp den and find solace with those STAMPS..people tell me not to judge..but he admits his wife is a workaholic with no hobbies.....

Plagiarism

i guess there are others out there that agree with her !

My wife likes my silly little pieces of paper.
When I come home from a show she usually says "whaddya get?"
She really liked the Stanton cover and the Horse Salve stamp and the John Denver cover.

My wife is tolerant but totally disinterested. I guess it could be much worse!

Laswabbie, just reassure her that your FIRST love is her, and your second love is stamps....or is that the other way around---just kidding!ha
We women like to here that we're #1 every once in a while.

I thought my husband Walter & Cimmaron's collecting were a little boring. But then I saw some of the stamps & really liked some of the pictures on them. I got to thinking, Can you imagine if these stamps could talk the stories they would tell us. Where they have been, what they have seen, who they have met. I personally like the cancelled ones because I know they have a story to tell. I know that somewhere in its life it was loved enough to be sent. I am so excited to start my collection.

I have always liked the artwork, engraving and attention to detail of classic stamps. Then on the other hand I also like recent stamps that are relevant to me & my pop culture. Anyone with an open mind can find a stamp that is of interest to them. Someone just has to let them know the joy & relaxation stamps can bring them. Especially in today's hectic, demanding world.

Whenever I spend more than a little for some stamps my wife says something. If there is a stamp worth $100 in a collection I buy she says I should sell it....lol

The John Denver cover?? nobody took the bait. anybody want to see it?

John Denver? I'm sorry I don't know where that came from.
I have a James Denver cover.

Wow that bait was tossed out a few months back.

Have you ever replied to a topic and then realized it was a couple of years old? Haven't done that here, but in some other forums I participate in, I have done it, and felt really foolish afterwards.

Good morning everyone
I Credit/blame my Wife Pat for getting me restarted in Stamp collecting.
I started collecting as A boy in England And like most collectors
gave it up for other interests And careers.
It was A few years after we were married,we went to her parents for dinner and picked up pat's Girl Guide Stuff.
In the box was her stamp collection of a few hundred stamps.
that were collected for her badge.
Looking through it I found that all the stamps were "Scotch" Taped in(ARGGGG)Including a Nice used copy of Canada #18.
Anyway, we both started together,first with the approvals From The little sewing books, Harris,Garcelon,Jamestown, Then Onto the local auction house.
We/I went full bore ,ending up operating over the years an approval service ,retail stores.
Pat still collects,dogs.
My Passion was British postal history of the London area.
Sorry to be so wordy .
