Hello everyone !
Here's my old US stamps collection.
That's not the best US stamps collection at all because I'm not specialized in one specific country. But it's still great.

Tell me what you think about this collection !
Every comments are welcome !

A great start to a US collection. I like the idea of keeping them in those Vario Sheets. That way you can move them to make room for future purchases.

You may want to work with your scanning and editing of such items. You can crop out all the non-stamp areas easily.

Thanks for posting.

I take pictures with my tablet so that's why they're not all clean.

Taking pictures is never as good as scanning, both from a clean scan perspective (nice and sharp, flat), and from the odd angles that usually happen with pictures. But please post your better examples, when you have the chance (we LOVE to see pictures of stamps in this forum).

The stamp in your second photo is a Scott #11 with an inverted 11 in the postmark, so that's really cool.

Oh great ! But an expert told me that was a #10

Could you tell me more about the inverted 11 ? What is this exactly ? An error ?

The inverted 11 in the cancellation is interesting, but not necessarily of great value. Some cancellation collectors would pay a small premium for this.
