Hello, My name is Steve - born and still living in Australia, now retired I have been collecting all world stamps since the age of 10 (“on and off”).
Now winding my collection down and selling stamps on various platforms I have recently discovered interesting, rare and unidentified stamps.
I look forward to being more active here. I find learning about Geography and History from and about stamps very informative
Cheers Stevo

Hi Steve - welcome to TSF - great bunch of guys here - look forward to seeing some of your stamps:-) Hi Paul, Thanks for the welcome - I have been disposing of my collection over the last 8 or 10 years. Family don't want 'em and difficult to know what to do with them - They are too good to just bin them so I have decided to sell cheaply to people that may appreciate stamps and maybe add to their collections. Back in the day I collected all world stamps with a slight leaning to stamps that pictured Marlin and Billfish. At the moment I have over 11,500 items listed for sale on another site and thousands more still to list - Selling has become my hobby :-). What stamp pics would you like to see here. Being new I am still working out how this forum works and I would like to see unusual stamps like :: smallest, Largest, Most colourful, Best one or two colour. stamps etc.. Regards Steve

thanks Steve - have to admit I'm rather a fan of definitives, and old ones at that - so probably I'm not the best person to ask from your perspective. There are folk here who have a passion for vehicles, animals (including fish), so really just take a pick - am sure whatever you post pix of will please someone:-) You mention 'largest' stamp - how about this Polish item from 1960 - 'Battle of Grunwald' - measures 80 x 42 mm ! ![](https://i.ibb.co/f2zZN7V/DSC01952.jpg)

I no longer have this one but i like it - 2004 Australian $5 - 105mm x 72mm ![](https://i.ibb.co/zZMpW5M/2004-5-105mm-x-72mm.jpg) I'll look for "Pretty" definitives tomorrow. 7.25pm now so I'm off for a late meal Cheers
