Worldwide Collector -It Will Never Be Finish -Fiume Paper Types .

Darn collection of mine the more I work on it the more I find that it will never be done and the more pages I add the further it is incomplete .I am getting to the point that I am collecting bookcases,not the little ones that sit at hip level ,I mean the big six footers .
Thought I was done with Fiume 20 years ago ,but now I find out thru a Italian catalog that there is not only gray paper but a listing for YELLOWISH-GRAY paper ,off to redo some old mounted pages .

So... what country could be collected that would/could be done? Every county seems to have its endless variations that prevent "completed" at some point. It's enough to make one fume.

As Marcel said, "Desire makes everything blossom, possession makes everything wither and fade". So the extension of the search ad infinitum is perfect for the collector ...

As a kid, I felt completeness when I got all of those MNH commemoratives of 1956 tucked neatly in their crystal mounts.

As a geezer, I don't ever think about completeness. With some knowledge and experience comes the realization comes that "the more you know, the more you understand how much you don't know."

I started back into stamps about 4 years ago and I had to build bookshelves. I have 15 feet of 7 feet high bookshelves and a number of other stand alone bookshelves as well. It's called collecting, or is it hoarding?

'...luckily" I would like to add - luckily there are endless of possibilities in our great hobby. No limit - infinite feeding for our curiosity
