Pushing 330,000 All Different Worldwide Stamps In One Collection .

Here something I hope you like ,plus it is something most never seen . I liked it the first time I seen it and won it at auction for $25.00

I would definitely select the Kelantan set already mentioned. 3 others I would include in my vote would be:

1937 Aden Dhows definitives complete
1938 North Borneo definitives complete
1952 Angola fish definitives
1938 Hong Kong definitives complete. $5 and $10 should have "decent" gum (not too brown).

The Hong Kong set is tricky because of all of the paper, perf, and shade varieties- how complete is complete??

Excellent topic.

I think this one belongs on the list:

Nice sets floortrader! I also love the Roos, ClassicalStamps!

Tried to purchase a large Cyprus collection this week at a stamp auction but the price just got away from me ,ended up the second highest bidder .Just got to my limit and had to back down, .after the auction was over started to second guess myself thinking one more bid would of got it . next time will be different ...lol

Those Roo's look beautiful ,a area I need to put more attention too.

It seems like a lot of people have left this board . The postings have dropped off from years past .

But one thing is interesting there are still a lot of viewers who come here but they don't post anything .

So because of the large viewership I am going to continue posting . There still remains those who like to see interesting stamps and how others collect no matter what level they are at .

Here is a set many WW collectors only get the first few lower values but never seen the set complete .

For what it's worth (not much! haha) I don't post here much at all but I do check out this thread at least once per week. I appreciate what you're sharing and your collecting philosophy is inspiring.

Hmmm... Sabah... Part V of Scott International. Yup, totally blew by that page :)

St. Helena though, I did get completed. A fun set too. I got this working the A-Z stamp booth back in 2012. Will work for stamps ;)

floortrader you have a spectacular WW collection. I also like your articles or blogs about WW collecting

floortrader, please do keep posting your collection! It's a source of interest and inspiration to us all, and shows that these pages *are* possible to complete.

Like many others, I rarely post here - my own collection is mainly comprised used copies of the thousands of low-value, common stamps that we all have, or have seen, far too many of.

The Sabah overprints had quite a short shelf-life before being replaced by new local issues for the low values and general Malaysian issues for the higehr values. My sets of both this and the North Borneo issue are missing the top couple of values - good to see them here.

I dropped off a lot when I suddenly could not access the forum from any device but my phone one day. Don was helping me when he died. I still can only use my phone. Still bothers me that an all-hands email was not sent about Don's passing. To me he WAS this forum in a nutshell.
