Thank you all for warm welcome!
You'll have to excuse my bad English, I'm still learning stamp collecting terms (in Croatian and in English) so I'll have some problems in communication
I'm 23 years old and just finished faculty. I never worked so money was (and still is) a problem. All money I had to spare went on stamps, books and comic books. I have no space for more books so I will put all I have in stamps.
I started collecting as kid, my grandfather gave me fist album and few stamps. It was really hard to collect stamps in small town. I did not get any stamps for years. Then I went to Zagreb (capital of Croatia) for 5 years and started to collect again. Now, when my grandfather died, I have even more desire for stamp collecting.
I have nice colection of Czechoslovakia mint stamps and some stamps from Croatia. My main focus for next two years will be to complete Croatia from 1991. to today. Then I'll try to complete Czechoslovakia and to start some more countries.
I started to scan parts of collection and my scanner just stopped working. This postal cards are all I could scan:

I'll ask some questions when I find new scanner. I'm open for trade but I have never sent something outside Croatia so I have to ask for prices in post office.
