Greetings All! Just wanted to pop in ad say hi after joining the other night. I am somewhat new to stamp collecting. I started as a kid, gave it up for a while during high school and college years and now am returning to the hobby as an adult in my 30's.
As well as the stamps I collected as a child I have also managed to hoard stamps every now and again when the chance arose. In addition I have inherited collections from my grandfather, father, wife, and brother-in-law.
I have not really honed in my collection to any particular topic or special interest at this time. There are so many directions you could go, its hard to make a choice. Instead I kind of collect all sorts for the time being.
I am in the process of sorting out and organizing my collection right now. I do have plenty of spares though, so once I get more organized and more familiar with this site and group I hope to be able to offer up some of the spares I have for trades, etc.
That's all for now. Thanks, and hope you all have a great weekend,
Welcome Paul ,I'm sure you will quickly get used to us,we are a pretty laid back bunch on here,as you will see when you read some of the posts,if you haven't already

Welcome, Paul. You have taken my grandpa's favorite expression (except he pronounced it as if spelled "cattywampus") and generated a colorful user name. have fun here. Like any family, we have our squabbles, but mostly we have fun!

I can see Russian stamps from my collection Peter, I just have a hard time telling which ones are Russian sometimes! I think that is half the fun though, working out what you are looking at stamp-wise, and where it is from.
My collection is a bit messy right now, but I'm working on changing that.
Greetings from the East Coast (Massachusetts) to you, Paul, up there in the western corner of the USA! This is a wonderful place to hang out, make new friends, get answers to questions, and sometimes get into some weird debates!
