Tales Of An Old Collector (Continued)

Hi Family,

This will probably be my last update on my re-entry back into the hobby. Above you can see my collection and below it my reference materials and supplies. I have organized this MNH collection as follows (left to right):

VARIO Binder contans MYSTIC Heirloom pages 1847 to 1899. No stamps.
MYSTIC Binder 1 1900 to 1919 This is what I am working on now.
MYSTIC Binder 1 1920 to 1939 Complete Except for Scott 613. (Surprise)
MYSTIC Binder 2 1940 to 1969 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 3 1970 to 1979 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 4 1980 to 1984 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 5 1985 to 1989 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 6 1990 to 1994 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 7 1995 to 1995 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 8 1996 to 1999 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 9 2000 to 2004 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 10 2005 to 2010 Complete
MYSTIC Binder 11 2011 to 2014 Complete
VARIO BINDER 2 Back of Book. Airmails only. Missing Zeps (but not for long!)

A big part of this hobby for me is organization and presentation. Sadly, this phase is pretty much finished now. Everything is all Showguard Mounted. Since I will be spending the rest of my days working on MYSTIC Binder 1, I plan to read about Washington-Franklins as well as other research. The hinges are for expected used stamps. Both Dennison packs are unopened as of this writing. (BTW, I used to work at Dennison's in Maynard before Digital Equipment took over the entire mill complex!)

Nice looking collection you have there! BTW the true "Washington/Franklin - 1908-1920" will be in your Binder #2. Cheers! and Welcome. :)

I Love Stamps,

WHOOPS! Now you know just how confused I am.
BTW, I used the term "Cheers" for years (years, I say) after having been assigned to RAF Lakenheath for 2 years. Thanks for the kind words. The cigar box in the picture is a left over from when our son was born. 36 years ago!
