Does Any One Collect Sri Lankan Stamps

Im from Sri Lanka and was wondering if any one in the forum collects Sri Lankan stamps

Hello Lily11 welcome I dont collect Sri Lankan but in my ww collection I inherited I did see that I have a small amount of them,in fact about 30 mins ago I saw them.Is that what you collect?

Hi Tina,
My collection too has Sri Lankan stamps, I have started 2 separate collections of Sri Lankan and WW collection. But I just started 2 months or so ago with the help of family and friends so I have a long way to go :)
Do you collect on any topical's?

I also have a few Sri Lankan Stamps myself...I just put it in my stock book

lily11 yes I've decided to collect Disney Characters.My #1 topical that I love is Winnie the Pooh,but not to many out there,this may sound strange but I've also start my own Hitler/Nazi album,I know pooh to hitler.LOLHave you decided on a topical yet? if you have let me know or when you do let me know and I probly have some of whatever it is ,i have a verrrrry large collection ww so thats all the sri lanka I have come across so far

Hi Lily11,

Welcome to the SCF.

I have some Sri Lankan stamps, but I am concentrating on Ceylon (pre Sri Lanka). I like the idea of having a definite end to the set. If you would like to trade some Aussie stamps for Ceylon stamps, stick around for awhile. You will need 50 posts to trade.

This is a little off-topic, but I'm curious about the recent coup on Sri Lanka.

How did it affect you, your family, your job .. ??

Lily:

I collect the stamps of CEYLON, as part of my King George VI reign of the British Empire collection.

I've even got the 5¢ "Apostrophe Flaw" stamp.

Do you just collect Sri Lanka? Or do you include Ceylon, too?

I be interested in stamps use by the Tigar Tamils, in territory they controled.

To David - yes I do have a few Ceylon stamps handed down to me. As it is I am collecting anything I come across.

To Kirk- well there was no coup as such. we can finally say we are rid of the terrorists who had affected our lives for the past 30 yrs or so. We can finally step out of the house without worrying if we or our kids would return as there were many suicide bombs that went off in buses, shopping areas, etc We as Sri Lankans are one country one nation. If you remember 9/11 we have been having that all of my life time and im glad that my kids will be able to live in peace. The LTTE was the most ruthless terrorists organizations so we are proud that we were able to vanquish them.

Hi Tina,
Thats great that you collect the disney stamps, I would love to see them. I too want to collect them and I friend sent me one to start off with. A bugs bunny stamp.

Lily:

The Ceylonese stamps of the King George VI reign have a number of perforation, and colour varieties. They are some of the more interesting stamps of the reign to collect.

Hello Lily id love to show you some Disney stamps but so far I only have 2 minnie mouse that I got from sharksfan and Daffy duck I've had for years,then I have my 2 souvenir stamps of winnie the pooh 1 from craig and the other from londonbus and 5 single stamps also from londonbus.The rest of my stamps that I am keeping are the ones that were in my colletion that caught my eye.I have 4 albums and 4, three ring binders.Box or 2 of misc stamps

No,never collected sri lanka stamps but I do collect lotta ceylon stamps for sure.

I find it hard to get Sri Lankan stamps -- getting stamps from Ceylon seems to be easier. The only Sri Lankan stamps that I really encounter are the earliest ones, from about 1972 or so.

Lily:

When you decide what topical to collect, post a message in the topical collecting section of the chatboard; and we shall discuss it and help you with it.

Cheers!

David
