What Did You Do Philatelically: Today Or Recently?

Working my way through 15 old albums I purchased a while ago. Hong Kong and India this evening. Funny how every time I spend time on a Country I think to myself I should build a real collection of that Country. I have the attention span of a gnat however.

shermae - hello, and thank you. In quick response, have you seen this list of French dealers? Not sure how current it now is, or how many of those listed deal in colonial issues -

I'm working through a mishmash of lots and collections I've picked up over the years. Today I've been putting stamps from all over the world onto Steiner pages. Denmark, Slovakia, Netherlands Indies, Finland, Nepal... I'm definitely enjoying myself!

Thanks Geoff, I have not seen that particular page. Most of those pages on the net date back 15 years or more (e.g. Luft listings) but this one appears to have been updated 2 years ago. Certainly worth a review!

Played around with borders and fonts for Postal History pages. The Nov 1 Willits corner card arrived Dec 24th. Luckily found it hiding in Jim Mehrer's last sale.

Yesterday and today, I filled about 60 spaces in my Venezuela collection. I really had to pay attention to distinguish the same design types used for regular and airmail issues, sometimes in reissued in different years, plus overprints on some. Found a few interesting BOB issues, plus some postal tax stamps that are not listed in Scott. A few good days! An update to Switzerland is next and then on to my recently received Japanese commemoratives.

I am looking into ordering the new Hockey issue from Canada Post (a joint issue). I think Canada Post is the only place that one can get the souvenir sheet.

I agree with the previously-stated sentiment that WW collectors will never be bored, and will always be learning new things!

Happy New Year to all. - Alan

Working my way through a stack of old albums purchased at auction. Today my focus was on France and French Colonies. I love the early French Semi Postals. Beautiful.

Purchased four sets of German overprint stamps on ebay.

Finishing adding part of a collection to the data base. Slowly starting to work through the backlog. This was purchased Aug 2014! Woot!

Created labels for my lighthouse binders based on an earlier topic.

Walkman82 - Those binders look great - well done!
Do you have traditional album pages or Vario sheets in there?

Looks nice. I see you like using all the binder colors.

Assembled a "shopping list" of MNH U.S. postage stamps from 1922-2000 that are still missing from my album, including current Scott values as a guideline. Most of the list consists of 1922-29 definitives, including the Kans. and Nebr. overprints. I have scare quotes around "shopping list" because I will never be able to afford many of these stamps, unless I win a large lotto jackpot.

Angore, I do like using the different colors. I started off with blue for the PNCs years ago, then just naturally went with different ones for different categories. Thanks again for the amazing idea of labels, I (and more importantly, my wife) think they look great!

Walkman82, beautiful binder labels. I also use this type of binder and have been searching for a reliable solution. Can you please post the thread you reference that details how to create these?
