Hello, I'm Katchem_ash, 25 years old, married and living in Canada currently. I've started collecting sicne I was 5 or 6 years old, my parents help me start it and from then on, I've been on and off again with my stamps since teenager years.
I've got a pretty good collection of worldwide stamps, as I absorbed my grandfathers and my fathers collection as well as those I've collected myself. My goal is to collect 100+ stamp of every country there was and still is (if possible, some didn't have more than 10 stamps).
So hopefully I wish to be a wide contributor of stamp information and help to those newly started and ask questions from those who are more seasoned than me!
Thank you all for such a lovely forum and community!
I collect Australian,U.S.,Canadian and some South American stamps.
I think part of the fun of collecting is in the hunt ,I've found some very good bargains and had some great exchanges with the forum members so good luck with your collecting. regards Harry
For you W/W collectors trying to get a stamp/stamps from every country: I sure would like to know which countries you are missing! Are you half way there? 90% there? It would be nice to see where you are now and again in a year from now see how far you've progressed. Besides, maybe some people on the forum can help with some countries you are missing.
Dave, According to list I have, I need 54 more countries, out of a total of 248. I'm not sure how accurate the list of countries is and I haven't checked to see if all those countries produced stamps. I also haven't updated my list for a while.
My goal is quite similar to yours. I want to collect from as many countries as possible. When I kicked my collection into high gear a little over a year ago I had approximately 60 or 70 Countries represented, now I have 282.
Of course some of these no longer exist and some were made up coutries, from what I've been told, but no matter I love em all.
