Hello

I joined the forum last week and have since enjoyed looking through numerous threads and posts pertaining to my interests as well as getting help with identification of a stamp I was not familiar with.

I collect South Africa (including early colonies), early Caribbean (pre 1920) and then I do also have thematic collections - one for dogs and another for butterflies.

Always on the look out for house clearance/forgotten attic stashes of stamp as I do enjoy a good old sort. Currently working through approx 8kgs of stamps from a recent one. Very cathartic.

All the best.

Welcome Banana Bread! Your method is one of my favourites too! I get most of my early stuff from old collections bought from local auctions. This is a great site with loads of knowledgeable people.
Regards

Banana Bread,

Enjoy having fun with stamps! That is the name of this game. Wonderful you are carrying on your father's collection. You are the next steward of a family treasure you can pass on to future generations. Its value as a family heirloom wil always surpass it monetary value.

Collecting for the enjoyment of collecting, whatever that might be, is the name of the game. Don't hesitate to ask questions especially if you need basic information and especially more advanced sources of information for any possible topic. You should be able to find folks on this board a little further along on their collecting journey glad to share experiences.

My personal bias is a used stamp loses the story of its journey in the postal service when it is removed from the cover it transported to its destination. Collecting postal history adds a whole new aspect to your journey in our hobby.

Wishing you many enjoyable future days in our hobby. Russ

Ah, I love butterfly stamps too! My first Argentina stamps were the butterfly set from the 80s.
