Hello to you all.
I live in Canada on the west coast and recently got given a collection that re-sparked my interest I had as a youth. First thing I discovered is that I need to get organized. I now I have several books and boxes to keep me busy:-) I will troll the forum for tips on organizing them . Raw empty books seem expensive so I was thinking of low cost ways if they exist.
I am a bit of a techy also (Electrical Engineer by trade) so I wrote an android app that is like an album of my Canadian mint stamps. If anyone is interested in trying it out and providing some feedback please let know. Its easy to use but you need to have excel to create your album and an android phone to display it. It only has Canadian stamps right now. At this point i am not sure how useful it will be but I kind of like being able to quickly scroll my album. I have yet to find someone around here as excited as I am when I show them the app. they mainly say "Oh , stamps".
Oh my stamp is a mix of Australian,Canadian, Italian just like me.
