I have been collecting stamps since I was a young fella, with my Grand-parents , family (my loving wife Lee) and friends supporting me by saving stamps, taking me to stamp clubs and giving me some starter stamps.

I have been updating and running my website www.andrewsnzstamps.com for about 4 years now and are continually updating as I find a new variation. Check it out sometime.

My interest has always been New Zealand and for many years, I never had the money or the contacts to collect a specialist New Zealand Collection. I collected a simplified New Zealand Collection in Mint and Used.

As I ran out of easy to get New Zealand stamps for my simplified collection I started trying to complete a simplified Chalon Collection. This got me hooked on the Wonderful Chalon Stamps of New Zealand and all there varieties, what a challenge to set "Complete a specialist collection of the New Zealand Chalons". Now with over "490 Chalon items," 225 individual variations of the Chalon Stamp and 125 certified Chalons I am well on the way to achieving my goal.

Well that is where I am at, have set the challenge, and hopefully one day when Lotto is won I may complete the great challenge.

Regards Andrew

Hey Andrew

Fancy meeting you here!

Nice to have more of us together here to share our passion.

Its a bit quiet on the Chalon thread at present - hopefully we can get it a bit livelier in there again now.

Dave yes great to be on-board , I will get some posts going when I have time. Interestingly I was looking at the Re-entry posts and so decided I would investigate the 1d collection that I have and have found a couple that I will post.....you never stop learning and with the Chalons there is always surprises.
