Greetings to all! After lurking around on this site for some time I've finally gotten around to joining today. I have been collecting off and on since my youth, as a worldwide collector. In more recent time I have been focusing on a collection of Austria, but now in my retirement I am also resurrecting my worldwide collection,(never could get it out of my blood), but with a special place in my heart for European countries, especially Germany and Czechoslovakia (in addition to continuing to work on Austria). I have greatly benefited from my past lurking, and hope to be able to contribute something back occassionally; thanks to all for making this such a wonderful forum.

TNPhil,

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

Petert4522, hoosierboy, shermae, Uknjay: Thanks for your warm welcomes.

shermae - I generally collect anything up through the 1980's, but will include stamps from the 90's if they happen to come along, but don't actively seek them out.

Uknjay - Yes, we're almost neighbors . Nice to hear from a fellow Tennesean!
