New Member From Brazil

Hello everybody!

I have been a member and avid reader of this forum for some time now.

Like most forum members, I started collecting as a child but stopped in my teens.

I returned to collecting stamps over 10 years ago.

I collect classic Brazil Empire stamps (1843-1889) and more modern Brazilian EFOs.

Welcome!

Welcome to this great forum with a lot of people willing to share and help.

Thank you Petert4522 and centerstage98!

Cosmophilatelist,

Enjoy having fun with stamps! That is the name of this game. Wonderful you are carrying on your father's collection. You are the next steward of a family treasure you can pass on to future generations. Its value as a family heirloom wil always surpass it monetary value.

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.

My personal bias is a used stamp loses the story of its journey in the postal service when it is removed from the cover it transported to its destination. Collecting postal history adds a whole new aspect to your journey in our hobby.

Wishing you many enjoyable future days in our hobby. Russ

Welcome Cosmo!

Cosmophilatelist, hello from the Azores, glad to see other Portuguese speakers in the forum. I'm new in this hobby and starting my collection of souvenir bird stamps. Hope you have fun with the hobby

I agree with you Hossierboy!
I still haven't been bitten by the postal history collecting bug, but better never say never!

Thanks Shermae!

Ramon,

It's always great to meet Brazilians and Portuguese in these international forums.
I lived in the US, in NJ, between 2017 and 2022 and returned to Brazil just a year ago.
And, despite liking the USA very much, including my youngest daughter being born there, returning to Basil reminded me of the phrase of the great Portuguese poet, Fernando Pessoa: "Minha pátria é a língua portuguesa" (My homeland is the Portuguese language).
And yes, stamp collecting is pure fun!

NSK- just wondered why her response appear in this thread and not the other. Seems a little odd...

Probably by mistake.

Welcome Cosmo!
