You looked at the label on the ice cream container and wondered if it could be saved for your Cinderella collection!

You are not far off the mark, RileySan.

I have a collection of Luggage labels (Casablanca Hotel etc)
they are not stamps, but close cousins,
not dared to start a thread on these though

You may be a stampcollector if you
1. Spending more time on the SCF forum than you do watching TV
2. Spending less time playing with your kids than with your stamps
3. Spending less time with your wife than with your stamp

You may be a stamp collector if you:

1. Apply for a considerable bank loan just to buy "rare" stamps.

2. Then, you get in real tight money becuz of the gigantic Monthly loan installments for which you end up with no enough money even to supply your fridge!

3. Then, you keep struggling longer & try to sell many stuff in your house just to cover other personal debts becuz of the loan installments.

4. Then, you keep working double shifts just to cover your house rent.

5. Eventually, you give up & try to find a buyer for your "rare" stamps but could not becuz items were sold way over-priced!

6. Two options you have: keep the stamp albums with you to go through them while you're in jail, or sell them off at way inferior price to settle more debts and then >>>>





Cheers

You might be a stamp collector if the briefest glimpse of perforations gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling.

You might be a stamp collector if you've got enough postage to last the next ten years.

You might be a stamp collector if the local post office workers give you that look whenever you mail an item with more than one postage stamp on it.

The clerks at the post office counter take your word for it when they ask how much postage is on a parcel.

You sort stamps in bed and so you wake up with stamps stuck to the linens or your skin.

You check your feet for discarded stamps prior to donning your socks.
