Stampmans,

Please stay active in our group. You can be a real asset to new collectors we focus on helping along in there journey into the philatelic world.

Collecting for the enjoyment of collecting, whatever that might be, is the name of the game. Don't hesitate to ask questions especially if you need basic information and especially more advanced sources of information for any possible topic. You should be able to find folks on this board a little further along on their collecting journey glad to share experiences. Russ

Let's see whether Don will allow circumventing the rules by posting a website in a first post in a screenshot.

As you state you want to be helpful for collectors by posting items and mentioned GB, I had a look at your site.

It takes quite a few clicks to get to anything serious. Unique items take you past some stamps with nudes most postal services will refuse. I do not know why you consider those unique items.
After the disappointment of that "unique items" section, I went to the GB section. It is full of links with vagie descriptions. The names include Michel numbers. Uniquely few serious GB collector will use Michel for their GB collection. So, I do not have a clue what stamps those are. It further includes the year of issue and a very unhelpful description of the watermark.

Going further to the pictures (I must have clicked five or six times before getting to see one) I see only pictures. There are no descriptions.
One of the first I looked at is the 1881 Penny Lilac. It comes in two types. I must count the dots to see which I am looking at. I see postally cancelled specimens and specimens used for revenue purposes.

The George V sections also ignore two (actually three) very distinct watermarks. In that section, I cannot say which would be Downeys and which Mackennals.

Your Wildings do not even state what watermark the stamp has. These come with many variations (phosphor colours, bands, graphite lines, three watermarks, two papers, and two stamps were issued purposely in two colours). You have one that has "X" in the name. That is a Scottish regional Wilding. I won't go into the Machins.

You have some interesting covers you call letters. Sadly, the name does not tell you they are interesting. But then there is no description of what you are showing.

Your idea has its merits. Your execution might require some rethinking. Based on your GB section, I would go to the online Stoneham Catalogue for GB. At least that has descriptions.
People like to find what they are looking for. On your site, they have to search.

If you make it easier to navigate, declutter the pages, add descriptions, use relevant catalogues and use correct names (Seeland?) for countries you may be on to something.
