I purchased a Davo Canada Hingeless album back in 2002, with the dream of filling every space with mint stamps. My fascination with stamps started in 1980, with my first Scott stamp album and the (at the time) realization that there is no way anyone could fill every spot. Anyone see where this is going?

















































Now, I cheated somewhat, with the first page complete with proofs but other than that, all are mint, mostly VF and they fit every space in the album properly (perfs, etc). My collection is complete in Davo albums up to 2018.

Starting now with the Provinces. It never ends.

Nice to see what you have done, as good as or more than a lot of Canadian collectors have done...Keep up the good work.

YES..Do collect the Provinces...When it comes to Newfoundland, use Unitrade and N.S.S.C.(Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalouge) catalouges.

Good work, Robert

Wow - what a beautiful collection. The page with the Bluenose on it - such a stunning page. And so nice to see that full page of mint Jubilees.

Having just started on that journey, I have to admit to some jealousy at your accomplishment :). Just more incentive I guess!

Well, I didn't see any blank spaces. And I was looking! Anybody else? You should be commended, Tom. It looks real nice. I only have the ones during KGVI's reign.

Well done Tom

A truly wonderful collection. No shame in having proofs or specimens when the real article is beyond the reach of 99.99% of us.

There's only one thing you can do when you complete something, find the next project!
