Poll Question:
I have always wanted to ask this question:
Do You Post Topical Stamps You Do Not Actually Own?
Personally, I only post stamps I own/owned.
How about YOU? :-)

I've only posted images of items that I own in the Topical Stamp Collecting forum, and that's my general rule in the rest of SCF, as well. Sometimes I'll post an image of something I don't own to make a point or show "one that got away," but 95% of my uploaded images are of things in my own collection. |

I've been wondering too. I thought it was kind of an "unwritten" rule, to only post stamps and coins you own. |

I just post images of the stamps that I actually own, when scanning them; but, later, I might have traded them. |

Wow, so far I am surprised that most folks do INDEED post stamps they own! I thought we'd be the minority! BUT, the poll is still young.............. |

I only post my own stuff; sometimes, I'll add (with attribution) an image related to the item I am posting about.
Cheers,

Whenever I've posted images online, they have been scans of items I own. I don't see the purpose of 'acquiring and showing off' stamps vicariously -- unless it's for illustrative purposes with something you have that has a variation you haven't been able to find. But the primary focus, I think, should be philatelic material you have collected.

I scan all my topical stamps and display my collections online, so naturally I only post those. |

Yes, all of my postings are my stamps and covers, with one exception that I can recall...it was that strange little U.S. NATO commemorative from the early '50s. |

Hi. Of the series and topics that I collect, you show them all, the ones I have and the ones I lack. The images I take from anywhere to avoid scanning. When you show my sheets mounted, if they're my pieces. I don't really have anything special. Regards.  |
