That looks like a great start. I have lots of 1970s to mid 2000s if you are interested in that era. I am looking for a home for them. I do have limited selected from classic era as well. Send me PM if interested.
Welcome to Canada!

I think I will collect Canada the first 1000 main numbers (Michel counting) and that means 1986, there I stop. I will be interested in exchanging, not buying. I can give back european stamps. But I need to make a want list for Canada, maybe with Scott numbers  |

The first page of what I have from Canada. I'm setting it up in a stockbook. Maybe I make my first own designed album when I get more stamps. I'm putting small info "tags" before every stamp with Michel number, Scot number year of issue and Stamp world value on it.  |

But I need to make a want list for Canada, maybe with Scott numbers Or, instead of Scott, add a description of what the stamps are. Description on 800 stamps,  I use (as I have posted a lot of times) colnect.com witch have michel, (hidden) Scott, Yvert et Tellier and Stanley Gibbons number listed for Canada (and most other countries) I just tick what I have, what I want and there is a list + picture of the stamp and all technical information of the stamp. So for the time I have no written want list. On colnect I have 33,760 in my collection, 16,346 on my swap list and 9,297 on my want list. I will try to export my canada want list when it is ready. Hva a look at my colnect site |

I can help you with filling your Canada spaces when you are ready.
I’m quite interested in your colnect experiences. I’ve been using Stampworld as a reference tool, but haven’t gotten to putting wants and haves online yet. How does colnect fit into your workflow?

That's a heckuva lot of clicking to set up a collection on Colnect. I am clicked out after clicking a couple years of Luxembourg.
I guess I'd rather type or write out my lists!

Yes, it's a lot of clicking but for me it's a lot easier than writing it al down (have done that to in the past) The other benefit wit doing it this way is that you can cross check with other collector's have list on Colnect and ask for an exchange. This thae less than a blink of an eye and you get a list on your screen to see if there is a potencial for exchanging.
I can check 10 collectors list in lesd than 5 minutes! How long does it take to check a written list with 1000 post compared with your own list? 😊
