I Think I Like These Stamps The Best

Everyone, especially beginners, should always feel welcome here. Please let me know if we ever do get a bully.

To the best of my knowledge, we've only had one member post inappropriate/disagreeable messages. He was called down by a number of us and disappeared quickly.

I used to participate in a bass fishing/boating forum much like this and had over 4000 posts. I quit because they were always sniping at each other. There were numerous people banned from the site, etc.

I truly feel like this is a friendly family. Just look at the thousands of stamps and other items given away or traded with no thought of money here. I could go on, but will shut up.

Iam seeing so many stamps here that I have never seen before!!
Thanks for taking the time to scan them

You should post some of your collection Peg.
We'd love to see them.

Well, you mentioned stamps without "worth"... I myself got rid of ALL my BRD commemmorative and special issues, I only kept the "mass" stamps.
Why? Because I like them better and I neither have the time to sort nor the space to keep all these stamps in stockbooks.
Now I "reduced" my interest BRD-wise to these mass stamps in all their varieties. That's a very cheap area, as well as a very interesting one because you can dive deeper into all the varieties, plate errors, and so on. I think this is more interesting than just trying to gather all the "main numbers". There's nearly no "discovering" in collecting main numbers only, checking them in your catalogue.

I do this as well, for example with my DDR collection, where I collect main numbers only. But nothing beats digging through piles and piles of cheap stamps, "exploring"
