Well I certainly put a lot of work and time into it and it certainly keeps me busy but I would say it's average + at best. To me though it's priceless!

For a WW 1840-1940 collection, lower class to upper middle class for a few countries.

Upward mobility is fairly easy with so many countries- a quick infusion of stamps can put me into the middle class rather rapidly.


A solid middle class collection of Malta

But upper class is pretty much reserved for the specialists.

Well, I know that my Barwani collection is world class ... but as Barwani accounts for about two-thirds of a page in the 616 pages of Gibbons' Commonwealth Catalogue, it is possibly not all that significant in the great scheme of things.

Mine is best described as obstreperous.

Don't know what it really means, but it seems to describe my collection, my stamp room, my clothes, my diet, and just about everything else. Plus, my spell checker said it was OK.
