I spend 18-20 hours a week sorting, cataloging, and placing stamps in stock sheets. I've almost run out of Vario 7s and 8s stock sheets (bought 100 of each 2 months ago). Why do I have more stamps lying on the table than when I started?!?

I'd better get some coffee and a smoke ...

Here's a quick way to clean your desk off:

Push everything into a big box and mail it to me.

Brian, I envy you your problem. One way to solve your dilemma is to stop buying for a few weeks so you can catch up but can an addict stop buying?

That's very kind of you to offer to help me organize my collection, but this is a task I must do for myself

My dining room table is more cluttered, but less valuable than yours.

So, like the others, I'm envious
