OK, I plead guilty , I'm one of those lurkers that occasionally gets mentioned when someone decides to expose the "logged in" vs the "folks in the bushes" count ....
There are times when I feel compelled to comment on the various posts but don't do so cause I have not introduced myself ! So ..... here goes..
I'm retired from numerous professions , jack of all trades . master of none ( age 66 ) but as far as my philatelic history goes I was part of the great 1970's buying and selling frenzy ( oh man , do I feel old ). I remember selling pre-1940 Used Canada @ 50% of scott , no questions asked as long as the stuff was VF+ ) , I guess those days are gone
As many have stated I restarted my collecting a couple years ago ( boy' do I have a lot to learn
) Scared to death of early US ...... o' man , there's a lot to learn !!
So anyway I've been totally impressed and somewhat intimidated by the level of knowledge here , and oh by the way thanks for all the links that now overwhelm my browser bookmarks ( stamps / reference ).
So anyhow , I'll still be here but with a lot more questions than answers now that I specialize in Mint pre-1946 US. ( I did manage to complete the "Airmail" portion ..... yeah ! , but the regular issues are another problem all together
Regards to all,
