What Did You Do Philatelically: Today Or Recently?

On Saturday, I went to an small local stamp show in Ripoll (100 km North of Barcelona, Catalonia), held by the town's philatelic club, to which I belong. There were nothing too interesting, but I picked a personalized stamp stamp cancelled by a commemorative postmark and a Maximum Card. Also, the club's yearly magazine, with an article of mine on ciderellas.
Yesterday, I went to Barcelona stamp market and I picked a few stamps for my collection. Nothing too special.

I finally got next year's programme mailed out to members and affiliates of my local philatelic society. We also have to be GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) compliant. Non-EU readers, this has to do with privacy, data use and data retention. Anyway, I had to get everyone to confirm their membership. Good news is that we are having a "subscription holiday" this year! Waiting on lots of replies pouring in.

Putting together give-away US stamp packets.

Working my way through a carton lot. Three more coming next week. So much fun.

Worked my way through a Czechoslovakian collection that filled a lot of holes in my collection.

Worked on some recent Canal Zone pickups today

Now on to the Philipines

Summertime is finally here, but allowed myself a few breaks to continue working on my custom Brazil pages. Almost done until my cut-off at 1940, later years will be arranged on Vario.

I mounted an ebay lot of misc Mint KGVI and QEII issues. I added a few new countries.

Shame on me. I put in what I thought was a low ball bid on an ebay lot and now won it. I have several thousands of stamps coming. What was I thinking?

Hey who knows you might just find some treasure that will pay for the cost of the lot and more! The fun is in the hunt!

I purchased some of these to see how they work as country labels. They are removable so I can change my mind.

Found out that I'd missed out in two lots at an auction held yesterday - an album of French Cinderellas, and a further album with a detaiked study if the "Sower" types. Still, it raises the unexpected possibility that my bank balance may not decline this month.

Bought some discount postage which turned out to be plate blocks. Nothing spectacular but it was a
nice surprise.

ebay had a 20% off everything sale yesterday so bought 4 Scott country sets and saved $140 as I used 2 ID's

Cracked open the first of three cartons I won at a Harmer sale and dug in. Sparks shipped another three cartons. My do not disturb sign is now on the stamp den door.
