I agree with Rohumpy. I'm an equal oppertunity collector. There are some stamps out there I would LIKE to have but don't HAVE to have. IMHO when you get to where you focus on getting that one stamp you miss out on the fun of the whole hobby. So I would haveto say my only goal with my collection is to enjoy it and have fun building it.

I have goals but they are moving targets and change time to time. Some are accomplished and some die on the vine and some just get shelved or moved to a back burner for awhile. Philatelic goals, like other goals, should be smallish and achievable or they will simply bring anxiety or frustratio9n which is definitely not why we do what we do.

My goal is to figure out how and where a bunch of us can get together for a three day meet and greet at one of the centralized major shows this or next year.

We all need to start saving up for something like that.
