The Blogsite Bigblue1840-1940.blogspot.com Is Ten Years Old!

I enjoy just browsing this outstanding site. The care and deep knowledge that Jim puts into this site is amazing. Congratulations, Jim, on 10 years of valuable, well-presented and really fun entries. Here is to many more years of this world-class site!

One of the main reasons I returned to collecting.

I want to thank everybody who gave their congratulations - many of you I know well, because of the comments/conversations we have had about the 1840-1940 WW classical era over the years.

Deeply appreciated.

But I would like to acknowledge and salute one on particular...

1840to1940, who started the site Filling Spaces http://globalstamps.blogspot.com/

..and has had been going since 2008!

Bob, you are the reason I got back collecting WW 1840-1940, with your excellent posts on filling the Scott International Part I (1840-1940) AKA Big Blue.

I second the acknowlegements for the https://bigblue1840-1940.blogspot.com/ and https://globalstamps.blogspot.com/ web sites which have been a significant blessing to my collection activities over the past five years. The consistent quality of the posts to the sites is MUCH appreciated.

Yesterday I reached 32,160 unique, mint stamps in my International 1840-1963 stamp albums with 13,240 stamps in the International 1840-1940 Parts 1A1-1B2 component with many significant additions to Sweden plus a few issues for the Netherlands and Japan across all five International albums that make up the collection.

Good job, Jim. I have really enjoyed your site as I have gotten more into classic worldwide stamps.

Been to BB often. Tks! for all the work. very informative
