Nice words.
Thank you Nigel.
I imagined yourself, along with Michael, to have near perfect Turkey collections.
I have found Turkey lots of fun, and inexpensive thus far.
The script still mystifies me, and sadly, Postmarks will never mean much, unless in English.
I have recently spent over $100 US, for an early collection, to satisfy a few, very hard early issues. Hopefully I can re sell the remainder and recoup a little.
It has yet to arrive.
I have to go without buying any stamps then for a few months to get the budget back on track.
I bought 20 years of used Turkey on Minkus for $28
Singleton stamps, mint can still be had for circa 30c each, but you have to sniff around, Hipstamps can be cheap (and vastly expensive)
Revenues have gone gangbusters, I am only winning 1 in 10 bids, they often average $2 -$3 each.
My collection is Ok, but large gaps can be seen around the PTT overprints, and the Newspaper Opts.
Good luck with your re-start, if you need any Republic onwards, I may have duplicates, you can have for pennies.
