Hi, new guy here. I've been a collector for fifty years. At about the age of seven, I responded to a matchbook cover and sent in my dime. It's been a fun ride ever since. I don't specialize in any one country or topic. I guess I like them all. Like others my interest in my collection has waxed and waned over the years. At the present I am trying to come out of a slump after having lost a couple of my books to a break-in in my home. That's been a couple of years now and I'm hoping interaction with my peers will bring me to open the books and start collecting again. Anyway, this seems like a nice place. I've got my scanner and image accounts and know how to use them. Here's hoping you all will be patient with me if I make a mistake, answer my questions and hopefully I can contribute something here and there.

OG,
Welcome to our growing family of philatelists. Hope you crack open those books & binders and share a few gems with us. I am sure you have some words of wisdom to impart upon us as well. Can't wait for more.

Thanks folks for the warm welcomes. I've been looking around and getting familiar and find I have a question right off the bat. Is it okay to respond to an older post if I have something to add?
thanks,
OG

Hello,
This is my first time to your site and I have had my collection now for 26+ years, but I havent been as faithfull to keep up with it. Untill recently, I had everything packed away stored in some old cigar boxes (Not a smoker though). I small collection and want to get things better organized and make ure to reference everything better. I am really a novice at all of this and would welcome any support, suggestion, on doing thing right!
Thanks all and I look forward to chatting.
