Phil Say's Hello

Hi everyone. First I found the coin forum, with a bit of detective work I discovered where the stamp forum was. I started collecting stamps when I was about 10 years old, quit for a long time, then in the mid 90s discovered ebay & the fun of bidding on and winning stamps. I collect mint US, mostly focused on the older stuff. However I tend to stay away from the real old stuff (stamps below Scott's # 150). I'm tired of seeing all the holes in my album, looking forward to filling everyone of them (I wish).

Hello Phil!

New here myself. This place is great.
Everyone is wonderful and always willing to help
from what I have seen.

I'm with you about below #150.

We are very glad to have you here! What's the best deal you got on ebay?
Please post some stamp pictures and stories when you have time.

Welcome Phil88 from Philb..i am new here meself..i have always had the bug for stamps from faraway places myself..its a good thing I do not desire say the C13-C15 zepps..several of my friends heavy into U.S. have them and more power to them..but to spend the money and then put them on a page and close the album ..i can get a lot of other stamps for the money !!

Hello and welcome, phil88. There seem to be a lot of comebacks these days. I kind of side-stepped back into collecting after my father died and was left with the task of selling some of what he left behind on ebay. Anyway, before I could sell it all, I was collecting again.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I didn't know there were so many stamp collectors out there! And so many are named "Phil"... Is that a coincidence or what?

Welcome Phil,

I too collected stamps in my teens, then stopped and just recently started again. Like you I don't go after the rare or older stamps, not that I wouldn't take them. Do it mainly for the fun of it. There is a lot of help and knowledge in this forum, I'm trying to soak it all in. If you got questions don't be afraid to ask.

Once again Welcome,

Welcome to the site Phil!
