In my search for oddities, I came upon a small set of "Collect" advertisements. Can you add some more? The first row is a battle between the USA and Australia. USA wins for slightly better centering.

The second row shows that a cancellation, "For the ride of a lifetime, Collect Stamps", looks much better on a stamp with something to do with riding.

The last row is just the leftovers. "Get Stuck into Stamps" is catchy, a little. I prefer "Splash into an Ocean of Fun -- Collect Stamps" which at least lets a sea otter and a dolphin frolic together.

My eight-year old is doing a 4-H project on dolphins. One of the pages is on the "Splash into an ocean of fun" cancels. We still haven't found this on a cover, so we had to use an image of the complete cancel that I found online. Most of the stamps we found on our own and a few we bought on ebay.

Here's one from the US that dates back to 1994 (when the dinosaur stamps were so popular) that reads "Begin an Adventure of Giant Proportions: Collect Stamps":



...and another that reads "Collect & Protect Endangered Species: 1996 National Stamp Collecting Month":

I collect machine slogan cancels as part of my postmark collection. I can send you a 2 X 4 of the cancel. Maybe if I dig hard enough I can find one on cover too.

PM me if you are interested.

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

Here are some from my postmark collection. I probably missed a couple because my collection is organized by state/city, not by slogan.
