Has Anyone Done This? Advice?

It's been quite some time since I was here last. Sure nobody remembers me, but I WAS a paramedic back then. Since then I caught a bacteria from a patient which caused a freaky infection of my pericardium (part of the heart) and have been medically retired. I just started to go back to school, so I don't have to be on disability the rest of my life.
Anyway, I have decided to return to my quest of getting at least one stamp from every country in my Traveler album. They can be cancelled and have been hinged, I don't care about that, as long as they are in decent shape.
So how can you help?
If you have done this already have you found a reliable dealer that isn't out to skin you? What strategy did you use? Anyone from SW Michigan here???
Anyway, glad to be back and looking forward to chatting with you all again!

Welcome back!! Glad to see back up and about! Now if we can only get Spock1k back as well.

It's a lot of fun to get one stamp from each country.

I no longer have a Traveler album, but I still have a Statesman that I can use as reference.

Email me a list of what countries you still need.

Stay healthy and enjoy your stamps!

Make sure you save a copy of your list before you email it. Just in case something happens to the email or while you email.

Welcome back, not only here at SCF, welcome back to living. I have many friends who appeared wanted to stay disabled, not doing anything to get out of it. It is great that you want to get back to a normal living. Life is wonderful and should not be wasted. One can lose material things and he can always earn these back again. But, one wastes his time, he wastes part of his life. Please let us know what you need, we all will be able to help. We are a big family here.

Can't say that I recall you, but it is great having you back. Is your quest for one stamp from each country to include both past and present? I have a feeling some of the "dead" countries may get a little pricey.

Hi,
For your purposes, your best bet - in my opinion - is ebay.

Good luck!!

Welcome back JayR101. I am sure we haven't met, but let me know how I can help you meet your challenge.

Welcome Back, Jay!

I have some old WW duplicates collecting dust that could use a new home. Let me know if I can help!

I didn't realize there were so many Michiganders here. I'm in Traverse City.
