What Did You Do Philatelically: Today Or Recently?

Working on honing in on what I actually want to collect. It's been years now since I joined the forum and through my education here I've come to realize I am more of an accumulator of stamps rather than a focused collector. I don't envision getting rid of any other collections or anything like that, but I am enjoying being a Canadian collector more and more. So Canada it shall be. Besides, who doesn't love stamps of a beaver? (Scott 15)

Finally printing pages and mounting my Venezuela stamps. Uruguay, with it's myriad perforation varieties, will be next, followed by Vietnam.

Digging thru a small collection picked up at a local garage sale for $20. Four small albums we'll call 'sparse' and a box full of envelopes, glassines and a bunch of loose stamps on/off paper. Best finds so far, a US 208, looks unused on the front but the back is a mess and a US 511 MH plate number single. Most of the loose stamps are pre-1940 UK, France, and Belgium. Lots of pre-cancels and perfins to go thru.

Sorted thru a large collection of Luxembourg. Lots of overprints, semi-postals, and officials. Hundreds to add to the collection.

You guys are much more constructive than I am... all I did was spend more money today! But I got this sweet artist's die proof of France #C22... let's hope it survives shipping from Germany...

Yesterday I managed to complete the imprint blocks of the Papua & New Guinea 1952 definitive issue, with the arrival of this £1 imprint block.

Now the hunt is on for a used 1½d horizontal pair of the !932 undated New Guinea birds, to complete another section.

starpez1, that's a beautiful block!

Yes it is - I was very pleased when it arrived, not only did it complete the imprint block set, it is off great quality. I purchased it on ebay.
