Since retiring a few years ago I have resumed my childhood hobby of Stamp Collecting.
After careful thought I decided to collect just as I did sixty years ago, with a few changes to accommodate modern technology.
Used stamps in the best possible condition, mounted to album pages by stamp hinges. Arranged in date of issue order, with the exception of sets issued in parts being mounted together.
Then came the difficulty of deciding on which album to buy. All sorts of published albums were considered, with the help of the internet, but they were all too expensive and more suitable to new stamps.
So I decided to use my computer skills and make my own albums that I could print on my home printer. It is time consuming but very enjoyable. I arranged the stamps as I wanted and was able to make any small changes necessary.
My collecting interests are Australia including States and Territories, New Zealand, Canada, United States (this album I arranged according to Scott catalogue), Great Britain, and China.
I am working on albums for Italy and Europa at the moment. This way my collecting interests keep expanding allowing me to purchase stamps within my limited budget.
Looking forward to more reading articles in this forum.
