When Is Too Many Too Many?

Ok, so I've really liked C23 and some other US Airmail for decades. In addition to numerous C23 mint blocks, plate number blocks, plate number singles, etc. I now have about 175 used copies in singles and multiples.

So the question is, "When is too many too many?"

Hi Greg.....


There can't be enough if you're looking for plate varieties.....or maybe a cancel study.

Greg,

If you still have maneuvering room in your house, then you don't have too many, yet.

Are you up to your neck??

OK, I see I'm not going to get any support for quiting here! I should have known better.

If YOU think you have too many, then maybe you should stop. If you are still enjoying collecting them, then keep going. I am sure that you will know when you have collected too many. They will just suddenly become uninteresting, or something else will get your attention.
Until then, enjoy them and have fun.

That is not really a problem. I've gotten used to climbing over things.

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm going to start posting some items for sale. I'm running out of crawlspace.

How bad is it? Yeah, Greg, I finally found that first check you sent me. I set it down where I couldn't miss it. I didn't find it again until 4 hours later. This time, I went straight to the bank!

Your PBs will be out in mail tomorrow! Thanks! Now I've got a little bit more space, every bit helps!

Do you already have all the C23 errors, freaks, essays, used plate blocks (all positions), first day covers (all cachets known), first day ceremony items, commercial covers, advertising covers, first flight covers, airport opening covers, mourning covers, registered air mail covers, special delivery air mail covers, covers to foreign destinations, interesting combination usages with other stamps?

That's like asking, do you have all the C23's ever printed!

golden rule of theumb is when you have 10 sheets or 1000 stamps whichever is higher of the same issue then it is time to quit please see if its a scarce stamp then multiply by 5 and if it is a rare stamp then multiply by 10 and if you still have money then come and talk to me I have some stamps I need to sell

Hey, if you wanna quite alcohol, you ask for support from the people at AA, not the people in the liquor store!

Swabbie you are asking the wrong guy...i know Guatemala collectors who have a room full of easel charts with THOUSANDS of the Waterlow scott 114 to 123 and all their overprinted types...i have 4 or 5 stockpages of the orange and blue # 118 and look for more whenever I can...i do not think you know what addiction is !!

hahaha mbalf

philb

is there an addiction pill I can make my customers swallow? :)

A gentleman in my club is trying to collect all plates of the Great Britain 2 penny red. He just passed the 20,000 point so you have a way to go!
