Diary Of A Wannabe Worldwide Collector

Another batch of Machins:

Machins take a lot of pages!!

Amen to that, Al. Its a study all unto itself.

I guess it also depends on how you choose to arrange them on pages.

Oh I could certainly cram a lot more onto pages there's no doubt, but I prefer the 'uncluttered' look, at least for my GB collection. Whether I do similar when I move on to other countries, time will tell.

A nice collection on good looking pages

Latest batch of Machins, getting there..slowly.

I like the way you include the SG numbers.

Nice!

.and some more. It seems be getting easier as the face value increases, as there does not appear to be as many varieties (tagging/paper types etc) as there were with the lower denominations.

Are you collecting Machins strictly to SG Concise?

First I decided which aspects I was going to care about (tagging/paper types etc)then I used a combination of SG Concise and Deegam to see which Machins meet my criteria. I then re-arrange the order to how I want the pages to be. Generally, if it has a main SG number, it's included, plus any other varieties that fit my criteria

The order in SG Concise is rather mixed up for my liking (separating the regular and elliptical perfs into two separate groups for example) which is why the numbering on my pages seems a little random in places.
