Hello From New Member

Hello! My name is Dean and I have just joined the forum. I have been collecting stamps for more than 60 years and collect about every aspect of the hobby. My preference is pre 1940, but I like it all.I am currently sorting a large disorganized batch of loose stamps, U.S. and foreign, that I got last summer.It will take a while. There was 550 pounds of stamps.I am having fun.I will need to learn how to upload images to this forum.Until I learn more I will be reading. Dean

Welcome aboard Dean,

Glad to have you with us.
Boy, 550 lbs of stamps! That would last me the rest of my life I think.

Kind Regards,

Hi Dean,

Welcome to the SCF.

You might need another 60 years to sort that pile of stamps. Good luck.

Welcome stampaddict Dean!

There are a couple of threads on here (do a search) about 'You know you are a stamp collector when . . .' that are quite funny and make you realize you are like the other stamp collectors, only more so sometimes. (Oops, thats me!)

Anyway, 550 lbs? Is that all? Couldn't you have got a few more or something? What was the problem anyway? Are you sure you need all your furniture? Why not make room for more stamps!! Yay!

Lots of stamps sounds like fun to me! Can I help?

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am still learning where things are, but I will be posting...i read the comments about non posters. Again thanks. Dean

550 POUNDS ? I quit !

Some of us (especially the guy with the cat on the stamp!) philosophize and go on and talk more than they work on their stamps so don't worry yourself about not posting too much. Some of us make up for the slack.

Besides, people need to have time to enjoy their stamps and study and come up with questions and all that stuff too.

Can you take a picture of 550 lbs? That would be amazing to see that.

I could not sleep last night thinking about a hoard of 550 pounds of stamps..what the devil could it look like,,, a cotton bale ?????

Dean are you sure the stamps are not metric and are 500 grams? ;>
