Good morning all, just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Erick and Im a retired Marine living in beautiful southern Cali. Currently working for GA-ASI and getting into stamps. I came across a shoebox of stamps at a garage sale 28 years ago. At the time I had no interest in stamps. Lo and behold yesterday I found this shoebox and found some beautiful stamps and I was instantly hooked. I look forward to chatting with some of you and expanding my knowledge.

Welcome aboard Gunny. Good to have you. I'm retired Navy.
Similar story, 57 years ago I found a box of stamps in a church parking lot. And here I am today loving the hobby.
This is a great place to ask and learn.

Welcome Gunny to the web home of those who enjoy the hobby of stamp collecting. Don't let anyone tell you your little treasures have no value. Every stamp has a greater than economic value as long as it puts a smile on the face of its steward. Thank you for sharing your story. Merry Christmas with best wishes for a prosperous and pleasurable new years. |

Welcome Gunny. I have 2 boys in S CA in the navy. Nice place!
I see you're ready with the caliper! Suggestion, when you share photos/scans of stamps to share with Forum members take them straight-on and only a few at a time. That way help can be very specific about each! |
