Welcome! I am a complete newbie to stamp collecting, I just joined this forum too. Its a great place for learning and to make new friends. I don't know what I would have done without these guys!
I started with a worlwide collection, my goal is to collect at least one stamp from every country. I now have over 150 countries! I had been buying big lots on
ebay for super cheap, but have since learned that I would rather buy from either here,
www.stampsoffers.com, or stampwants.com.
www.ebay.com/b/260/" rel="nofollow">ebay is great for getting huge lots for cheap, but you have to watch about getting a bunch of the same stamps, watch for ones that say, 'all different" or "light duplication".
I'll email you with some good sellers, if you like.
Its great doing this with you son. My boys are 14 and 17 and are at the age that if Mom does it, it must not be cool,lol! At 11, they would have jumped right in,too bad I started just a few years too late. That was probably the last year or so, before they turned into these unfamiliar monsters called teenagers! So if you can get him involved at this age, its a perfect time to do it. I wish I had started when my boys were that age.
