Hey everyone,
New member here from Vancouver, BC. Brand new to the strange but wonderful world of stamp collecting (ie: the word philatelist does't quite roll off the tongue yet lol). I inherited a collection from my partner's grandfather and we're in the process of sorting through many.....many boxes, bags, and albums. We're hoping to make the collection our own to honour the wonderful work he's done. Not sure what my topical(s) would be yet because this is all new. Guess we'll see!
Cheers.

You’ve come to the right place! Many Canadian collectors hang out here, you’ll feel right at home! And folks are super friendly and eager to answer questions.

Lucky you, jay! I was the only one I knew of that had any interest in stamps. An aunt did give me a little booklet of which I still have 1 of the stamps. This is a good place to be to ask!
