Yes there is a method to this madness!

So lets see what your table looks like. I made some free time today and started sorting out some Guatemala stock.

Couple little piles already set aside for ya Phil.

I thought that was your desk John. I can still see the smoke coming off your camera.

Thinking way back I started on Grandma's kitchen table with a cookie tin of stamps saved by her.

Hey MK, been there as for the recliner chair. Hint-See the large squares of cardboard. Perfect for laptop sorting.

My oldest daughter gets a little upset when I use the TV remote. Yeah I don't move much if it is flat I will use it.

I have my own desk, which I mostly use for sorting. If I have a large load to sort I can spill over onto the dining table (which doesn't get used for dining anyway).



I also have to pool table, which is also rarely used for pool.
Currently being used to help Bandicoot to sort his U.S. stamps.
Anyone see anything they need? LOL.

Great now we can not play 9 ball !! I guess the coffee table is my number one place..of course I have to move albums,catalogs etc etc from my back room...like a portage !! Imagine if when I was in the service I used the rec room pool table to sort stamps..i can see the cue sticks being busted over the table now !!

This is why I wanted to start this topic.

Ya just gotta love it.

Nicely organized Steve. I am usually good for about two, maybe three weeks at the dining table before another dinner party hits town.

Wow! Mac's table is the size of my stamp den. my drying table is the electric range in the kitchen which I can only use from 6 A.M.-9 A.M. Not sure as i'd want to show my stamp mess even if I could. what I gotta do sort by letter , A-Z, put'em in envelopes,
Then sort by country, one letter at a time. I redid all my intnl's so they are by country A-Z (of course).
Have cigar boxes for each country for dupes. Cigar boxes by alphabet for new issues that I don't have an album for.
Neat topic, Mac.
