Collecting for 50 years, but first time here.
General worldwide collector, valuing quantity as much as quality (value).
Avid fan of Steiner Pages; I've even made some of them. The reason I'm here is that I've taken on filling a gap in Bill Steiner's offerings - Non-Scott Ajman. Someone did the rest of the Trucial States years ago, but they left out Ajman. I'm not a fan of those stamps, but I am a fan of completeness.
Looking to add lots of stamps from all countries.
Dave

Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum. Great profile picture. I look forward to seeing your posts. Patti in Texas Thanks. Patti. 25 years after discovering those stamps, I finally broke down and bought them. They are out of my usual price range, but they were up for grabs on an auction site where I'd won a number of items, so shipping was going to be free and I went for it. France is one of the countries I enjoy collecting. The engraving on their stamps and those of the French Colonies and Community is so attractive. Dave |

Aye caramba , it's about time you joined us!
Steiner is pretty good, butI have to edit them fiercely.
Just kidding on the admonishment above, nice to have you with us!

I edit mine, too. I'm not a souvenir sheet collector, so I remove them and add another set to get the density up and the number of pages I have to print down. I also added all of the Russia varieties footnoted in Scott to my pages. Yesterday I added some perforation varieties from Zimbabwe and Portuguese Africa, plus the Morocco Scott-listed locals. |

Welcome from just across the Georgia Straight - Vancouver  Actually, prior to the current lockdown we regularly passed through Nanaimo on our way to see the grandchildren, my son and his family live in Courtenay.
I am the author of AlbumEasy which is free software for creating album pages, it is not for everyone, but quite a few Steiner fans find it to be a convenient way to supplement their Steiner pages, Clive

to The Stamp Forum caramba! I've been in Naniamo many times. It was one of our fav places to stop for fish and chips on the way up or down Island. Now we live in Nova Scotia it's a little harder to get there...especially during Covid times!

Welcome here! I lived in British Columbia when I was 3 or 4 years old in a small railroad town called Keefers somewhere up the Frazier river. I keep checking for postmarks from that town. The postmaster was infamous for saying "god save our (@$^*!%) queen".

Welcome! I am another big Steiner fam. Bill said last year he was going to work on more the missing Trucial States. Scott has been adding issues from this period to their catalog. He said the biggest problem is getting the sizes of the stamp boxes.
