I have been collecting since I was a kid ~ 60 years ago. The hobby always interested me with it's display of history. I started with sticking stamps into a home made book then on to a world album.
In my early teens, I inherited my grandfather's collection and incorporated it into my collection. I've been a member of a few clubs and enjoy meeting and collaborating with collectors. I am VP operations of for my current club and have run a local stamp and coin show for the last 5 years. This year our show was sold out (28 tables covering over 8,000 sq. ft.) but was cancelled due to the virus.
As my world collection grew a I split off different countries.
Collections:
Canadian (one mint one used)
USA
France
Great Britain
Ireland
Australia
World Perfins
Germany (just created)
Next collection will be Poland
Looking forward in meeting like individuals and to learn!
