Hello. I dabbled with the hobby some years ago but due to circumstances (in particular funds) found it difficult to get into. I am now retired and seen what I think might be an opportunity to get back into collecting.......I am looking at collecting King Charles III UK stamps as they seem to be relatively obtainable on a budget. I am also considering collecting stamps I just like the look of from around the world So now very excited to be here and looking forward to a new journey with a little help from you good people.  |

Hi tele1962 - welcome to TSF - very friendly and always ready to help - glad to have you on board:-) I think there a few here on a budget - as a suggestion, and if you have access to a few charity shops, you might try and cultivate a friendship with one or two of the ladies - they do occasionally have a few stamps and you might strike lucky. best of luck.

@tele62 I won't hold it against you.
It was classic year for the Telecaster! I bought one at a pawn shop in 1969...$50, Then it was just a used guitar. If only I'd held on to it!

Welcome to the group!
FYI - a “dup” is a duplicate - you have more than you need, an extra stamp that needs a home. I’m in the midst of an energetic attempt to rehome all of my “dups”. 😉
Keep asking questions! We love ‘em here - how else are we gonna show off all this esoteric philatelic stuff in our brains, eh?

Thank you Jack. I am really appreciative of any help I receive and if I ever get any " dups" I will offer them up to the good members here. have just ordered the King Charles the III definitive set for around I think £10 pounds, most I have spent this time around but you gotta start somewhere. I don't think at this point in time I am allowed into giveaways etc which I fully understand. Maybe soon I will be allowed in. Warmest wishes Barry |

Hi Barry - I think TSF rules are that you need to have made a minimum of 50 posts before you can enter freebie draws - quite easy to do if you're a chatty sort of person:-) - but agree it's a good way of increasing your chances of some good gratis stamps.

Oh! I see what you did there! The “Captain Jack” under my avatar is the name of the man on the stamp I use for my forum picture. I found the stamp in a $13 bag of kiloware and it turned out to be worth almost £1,000!

Welcome to the forum tele1962. I can relate to the King Charles III stamps that you are looking into. I think the definitive design created by Martin Jennings for coins lends continuity to the Queen Elizabeth II Machine stamps. |

Welcome to the forum. Once you get into the hobby it is always an option to swap stamps with other collectors. A good way to build up a collection is too visit a charity shop or a yard sale.

I see you are in Newcastle , so
1. Have you thought of visiting Corbitts stamp shop and auctions?
2 there is a big stamp event just down to road at York racecourse on 19 -20 July why not take a day trip. You might get ideas that appeal. Several dealers will have countries by the album page or even complete albums
I’ll be there as will Michael

I was the only one of my family not born in the Newcastle area! They emigrated, and I was born in Cape Town. But following Newcastle United is a family tradition and some day I'll make the pilgrimage to St James' Park.
