Londonbus1- If I ever find some of the flag stamps, I'll let you know. I know I threw a lot of them away (I hope I don't get blackballed or censured for admitting this!) But like I said, I was pretty ignorant about the huge variety of flags back then.

Ziggy9- Actually, a church in Pennsylvania collected them for me from the members and they counted them prior to giving them to me. It took me months to go through them.

Philb- Even though I disposed of an undetermined number of US flag stamps, I am to my wife's dismay, hopelessly enslaved to accumulating. I have no idea how many I have nor even where all of them have been stored. I only know that the stamps are in 4 different houses.

You know you are a stamp collector if you are more interested in the stamp on the envelope rather than its contents .

You might be a stamp collector if you quit smoking and spend that money on stamps!
You might be a stamp collector if you convince your wife to add a new category to the monthly family budget!
(Both of which I am currently working on by the way)

You might a stamp collector when mailing a bill or letter you have second, third & forth thoughts about keeping the stamp instead of using it.

...the first stop while at the State Fair is the Post Office to acquire the event cover & postmark.

...Your 2 year old son knows that dad goes to the post office on Saturdays (when not working) to purchase stamps.
