JCSF , thanks for asking. After a twenty year lull in my collecting I got back in and found a local dealer that I could go to and gain knowledge. 1988. He started bringing in the new issues of Ireland and Germany. I still visited the US Post Offices for the US new issues. By 2018 the internet had become my go to source for my specialty collections. It has been a truly great adventure.
Ask not what your mistakes were, instead ask what was the BEST lesson you learned .... for me it was to forget the flash of new issues, first covers and instead pick a country, buy a Scott's specialized tot that country or group of countries and hit that country from start to 1950 and buy the best quality you can afford.
