What I collect: Stamps with Flags
|
Post by FlagsCollector on Mar 8, 2020 23:06:21 GMT
Dear all, I'm happy to greet everyone here and want to tell a little bit about myself. My name is Anton and I'm from St.Petersburg, Russia. I'm 24 y.o. and I've started my "philatelic part of life" almost 3 years ago. Since the beginning I've decided to collect Stamps with Flags (I love flags, so it was simple). Nowadays I have a good collection, sorted by country. I own stamps with flags of Jersey, Tuvalu, and Nauru, for instance. The sad thing that I realized, that it is really hard to find someone with the same hobby as me in my city (and it is a big city, really huge). There are a lot of stamp collectors who started their collection in Soviet Union times (it was REALLY popular in the USSR), but it's not so easy to communicate with them on a one-level (because of the age difference). Also, when I'm trying to find a Russian speaking forum or social site group, there are people doing only trading and trying to sell stamps. I will be glad to be a part of your community, so text me and ask everything you want. Also, if you want to have a "good old swap", don't hesitate to suggest - besides flags I have a lot of stamps on several other topics and themes. P.S I added to this post a photo of my first ever stamps (photo is not mine, just found a good one from the internet)  |

Hello, Anton ( FlagsCollector), and welcome to TSF! Flag stamps are a great topical choice, and now you know that two other members here ( hrdoktorx, Londonbus1, and more) are also collecting stamps with flags on them. St. Petersburg is a beautiful city, which I have had the pleasure to visit on several occasions. I hope that you will enjoy your time with us! Best Wishes, Chris (aka Beryllium Guy) |

Welcome, Anton! If you'd like to trade some U.S. stamps (maybe some Canada, too) with flags for some USSR stamps, send me a private message.

Welcome to the Forum Anton,
As you can see there are many members who share the same interest with you.
Do you collect used or non used stamps?
Canada has produced many flag series over the years. I will look for duplicates in my collection ans see what I come up with. I am sure I can find something.
Happy collecting.
David
