Want - 250 different Worldwide small and medium definitive stamps. No US or damaged. Offer - The same. I use recent US commemoratives to mail out my trades, and prefer US address traders, thank you. 250 smalls in a #10 envelope with a sheet of printer paper weighs under 1 oz., so a first class stamp will suffice in the US. Thanks for trading!!!

There are worldwide stamp swapping, you need to Google for those.
Be aware, can be awkward You get emails from suspicious "collectors" scams?
As per my experience last week, I get a parcel of circa 5000 stamps from an unknown collector, asking for similar. (just out of the blue) Just bundled into a large envelope, bent, creased, and all sorts. Now that is fine with me, I accept just about anything but I would say I already have 4,900 of the stamps at a cursory look.
I have asked, by snail mail, if I should return or what
I try to keep just 5 regular swappers, whom I can rely on and get at least, "on par" exchanges.
Having beginners is also, good as you can donate the more common as a gift to get them started.
Finding Good traders is a real Joy, and makes collecting fun.

What era(s) do you have? What era(s) do you want?
Hey Cjd, I have a total mish mash of eras, and they range from the 1800;s to the present. I don't try to sort anything out, except keeping it pretty much refined to the regular definitive size, and I remove any damaged. My collecting has evolved into common definitive stamps with different shades - tints, printing varieties which seem mostly uncatalogued, and CDS and other cancels, all on the same stamp.
I have pages of US #720, with hundreds of this 'same' stamp. but they are all different, and my worldwide collection is drifting in the same direction. |

Hey rod222, yeah exactly! I am just casting about looking for more traders with similar definitive stamp collecting interest. I am on other sites and have connected with a few other traders who seem to also enjoy this type of trading - collecting.
250 small definitives will go First Class letter rate in a #10 envelope inside a folded letter sized sheet of paper or glassine, and are not as overwhelming as larger amounts of stamps can tend to be.
This type of drfinitive variety collecting is not for everyone, but we do exist and I am seeking them out.

You're not going to want to post personal contact info..
OK, I removed it but it is my business address, and it is published in Linn's several times a year - for years into the past...

I assume the mods would swoop in and rap your knuckles with a ruler, like the nuns in a Catholic elementary school. (One could say that they have a habit of doing that.)  If I'm wrong on that, perhaps one of them will drop by and say "post away" (but I doubt it). |

A preferred chastisement at my (non-RC) primary school was the ruler across the palm, expertly delivered by Sheila "Tommy Gun" Thompson. I took more of a battering at primary than secondary school. |

Posting personal info is not allowed for a number of reasons; one of which is that doing so attracts bots and other personal data 'harvesters' to the forum. There is a forum messaging system which allows members with 50+ posts to contact each other if desired. Don |
