The album on the left in the picture was our family's second album and my first real one.

Also, there are a few Canada stamps and book sets I got from the post office, Also there is my first mint book, and a US book I was gifted.

The funny thing is I started making pages for Canada when there was no place in the album. Now I have started a new Canadian album printed out.

My grandma use to save all her used stamps and give them to me when I was around 6 years old. I was fascinated by the topics and details of the stamps. She didn't really collect or have an album. Then when I was 11, I got my first album. Then more family saved their stamps for me. I got my Boyscout merit badge and the ball started to roll. But college, sports and girls side tracked the hobby, until early in my marriage I got an opportunity to buy a large collection donated to a hospital. Now I was all in and never looked back! My wife thought it was a waste of money and space but she didn't mind the time I spent since I was at home. Now 30 years later, she is pretty happy since I have been selling a lot and she is surpised that I am making money on my hobby!
