Mike In Colorado And I Collect Ducks, Fed And State, Russia, Falklands, Canada, Cuba, And Iceland

I'm Mike in Colorado and I collect Ducks, Fed and State, Russia, Falklands, Canada, Cuba, and Iceland among various WW for my old Minkus Supreme Global. Also have a large mishmash of various different type pages of stamps covering a great deal of Guatemala-YES, eclectic, but I have been at it for over 60 years off and on. No great values-but a lot of MNH in the past 2 years (Ducks, Canada, Iceland, Cuba and Falklands. Just enjoy the hobby and want to spend more time on it now that I am finally semi-retired and in my dotage. I'll be happy when I reach qualification to buy, sell and post more after my first 50.

Welcome.

Welcome. Sounds like an interesting assortment of collecting interests.

Welcome Mike! This is a great site with a wealth of information and many great people. I'm also in Colorado, so when you get to 50 (and you're interested) we can exchange contact info.

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

Thanks to all.
