Hi, I'm Greg from New Zealand. I'm retired and recently took up collecting after a 50 year break. I got my late brothers collection in which he updated my collection I had given to him. My late mother had also collected stamps, New Zealand issue mainly Corner Blocks, the bottom left hand corner with the colour registers and printers marks. She had been doing this for seventy years but unfortunately had sold her collection to an avaricious dealer who paid her cents in the dollar. I collect only New Zealand stamps up to the year 2000. I may expand the years collected to the present day. I happily spend afternoons sorting my collection. Thanks for considering my membership application.

G'day Greg and welcome to TSF We need a member to be a specialist on 'modern' NZ, perhaps that is you! lol We have quite a few Kiwi's here so many of us to assist you in your queries. Another member here who Chris forgot to mention above is neilmac, Neil. He has many fine pieces of classic NZ and he also specializes in the Great Barrier Island Pigeon Post issues. Member Catweazle who, although being an Aussie, is delving into the Chatham Islands postal history, as well as anything in general regarding those Islands to our East. So plenty for you to read about and to participate in here. Welcome & enjoy your stay. Dave PS We love seeing pictures here so do please share your favorite items, and ask away |
