Really Odd Collections..... Ideas Or What You Do...

I have been thinking about some odd stamp collections lately...
Just for my own amusement really or until one sticks and I start collecting it!

Some nutty ideas to follow...

Stamp collection with no stamps... all fakes.

Collection of covers where the stamp has been cut to change the value.

FDC's of "postage due" stamps postally used... 1840-1940 :)

I am sure this is just a really quite sane tip of a very crazy iceberg of odd collecting ideas...

Then again,... I COULD always collect only Italian motorcycles on stamps! :)

What say you good people?

Covers postmarked sent or postmarked recevived on the exact date of your birth only...

Covers with 3 or more multiples of the same stamp. Bonus point if they're in a horizontal or vertical strip.

Well if its for amusement. You can try something like this.

I've been toying with the idea of collecting postmarks with my birthday, not necessarily the year but the date.

i just started a collection of covers from stamp dealers..my oldest is 1909 and so far they run til about 1954 !

First day stamps used on an older FDC.

Who would do that?

First day of issue Xmas stamps on a 1972 Vintage Car FDC



In a similar vein. FDC's sent too late (on the wrong day).
..................I have some somewhere.

Was there a stamp on the original vintage car FDC before it got changed to the Christmas stamps?

Or you could collect Air Mailed World Fair Covers (including ones that were posted from another city many years later)

1962 Seattle World Fair - Air Mailed from Friday Harbor to New Zealand 1969

Hello canadianphilatelist

Yes, here are the correct stamps on the matching FDC

I collect Advertising Glassines !

I've thought about collecting stamps printed in black, worldwide.

hummmmmm some good nutty idea coming out of the woodwork... what about overprints in green ink only?
Gavin

Ok, how about covers postmarked one day after the fdc date? Actually that sounds like a lot of work.

I have one FDC that was dated in error BEFORE the date stamps were issued.... maybe that could be the start of a collection, of incorrectly dated FDC??

Gavin

Gavin - now that really sounds like a lot of work!
