Doe's Obit

Hello Everyone

Thank you for accepting my membership request. I have been collecting on and off for almost 40 years. I returned to my collection earlier this year with a renewed focus on what got me back into collecting stamps as an adult.

I enjoy ancient history, and would have very much liked to have been able to collect seals and bullae, but collecting such things are beyond my means. Stamps are somewhat similar, in that they authorize the mail to be carried, and so stamps became my collecting joy. I enjoy covers and postcards as well, and I am currently seeking the following:

Correspondence between anthropologists/archaeological institutions/dig sites etc....

Cubs Baseball & Wrigley Stadium (Stamps/Covers/Postcards/Ephemera).

Manned Stratospheric Balloon Flights (Stamps/Covers/Postcards/Ephemera).

BUTZBACH: pre-WWII German stamps, (covers and postcards) with 'Butzbach' written in the cancel.

The Moody Blues on stamps.
