Hello everyone. I am a 50 year collector of world stamps but for the past 20 years my passion has been Belgium Railway Station Cancels. Although I am quite knowledgable on all things philatelic, especially Belgium railway, I find that I am still learning and the more I learn the more questions I have. I look forward to sharing knowledge in this forum. I created a specialty album for these cancels years ago but health issues sidelined me for some time
I have finally returned to the topic full time. Thank you for the wealth of information shared here. Kind regards, Talbot Parker

Stationcancels,

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
