Cardiology Topical Collection

I collect one topical (for now)... Cardiology. Cardiology is the study of diseases and disorders of the heart. Does anyone else collect cardiology?

That sounds interesting. I have some medicine stamps and science-related stamps.
I would be interested in seeing some of your Cardiology stamps & covers.

I don't collect stamps in that topical collection, but I suppose I should. David, you weren't around back then but this link will explain why.

I don't collect cardiology, but I just found this one:



Maybe you can show some stamps from your collection?

Drudenfus-That's cool! I had to look closely to see the heart-awesome.

Wow, laswabbie, I knew you had an attack in Honduras, but I didn't realize all that! God meant to keep you here, didn't he? Its amazing that you lived through it, let alone as good as you did!

Every time my faith gets low, I hear strories like this and they are so awe-inspiring, that I just have to believe!

I didn't mean to get off topic, sorry.

I collect hearts/love stamps. I fell in love with the French designer stamps that are heart-shaped and it grew from there. I am going to post all my "hearts" in another thread.

Here's some of the hearts that got me started:







And here's my latest "real" heart:




David, since I've expanded this to the whole "love" theme, I am going to remove all the "real" hearts from this. If you would like, I can send them to you. I don't have a lot of them, but you are more than welcome to them.

Nice stamp, Drudenfus...

Once I get my scanner going I'll be posting the gems from my collection.

Stefanib: Will send you sn e-mail regarding trading.

Thanks!

Not sure how I got this, probably after a blood donation.

Remember Stamping is done sitting on your bottom,
try to get out on your bike occaisionally,
