Have you considered 1) combing all of your posts into one, and 2) telling us want (opinions, just showing, identification, etc)?

If you are going to just show us your collection, then others have done something similar, while putting all of their pictures in one post. In addition, you may want to work with your cropping and alignment skills so that we can see your collection better. And, as suggested, please explain to us if you are just showing us your stamps, or are you asking some sort of question.

Yea I don't have them already to post as I am just going thru the box of many and doing as I go.
As to what I am looking for ? Feedback is all.
Not sure where they can be posted to one page as I'm new here.
Regarding my posting skills and cropping, I'm not concerned about it, if someone wanted a better picture I would certainly accommodate. Perhaps this website is beyond my level of commitment right now.
Thanks for sharing your critiques.

when you finish uploading an image you get a question: "Do you want to post another one?". That is the place where you can add more scans.
Also, after uploading a scan and writing some remarks, you can go again to "upload image" and upload another image.

What kind, exactly? I at least haven't noticed anything remarkable so far, if I may be honest. I would recommend, removing them all from whatever mounts, sleeves, or envelopes they're currently in, and transfer them all to a stockbook (plenty of choices available for a few dollars on Amazon).



Why not just to it right (or better) the first time? The more you put in, the more you'll get out.

Donato- one way to improve images that come from camera phone snapshots is to crop away a lot of the extra background so you have more "stamp" in the final image. I can actually do this cropping right on my phone, however I usually email the image to myself and crop on my laptop.

Irfanview software (you could call it "donate-ware") is extremely useful for editing stamp images. Something really valuable in Irfanview is you can set the file size when you save the image so you automatically have an image you can upload to this forum (300K or smaller). I actually have this as a saved setting that I can turn on and off.

Here is your image but this time cropped. The image is still blurry, and the stamps still small so not really an improvement over the original image. Unfortunately, since the original photo was quite low resolution, I was only able to provide an image that is 80K. Your phone may have a setting that allows you to increase the level of detail- this would allow for much more detailed images that take the most advantage possible given the 300K limit for the forum. But at least you can see the benefits of cropping.

Let me know if you'd like more help on this. Improved images will help the forum provide you with meaningful feedback on your questions.

shermae, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I will look into the irfanview. Your helpful…thanks.

My pleasure Donato. Don't give up on the forum, there is a lot of help available here and always best to be specific about what kind of help you need.

Donato hang in there.

Donato,
It's probably best to keep posting new photos to your original thread under inherited stamps.
Other categories are more specialized about details of certain stamps.
