I am looking forward to exchanging ideas and identification. I have been collecting since Cub Scout project in 1958! Like all advanced collectors I have a myriad of duplicates. I work with one trading club which relocated to South Carolina. My local partners have dwindled to two.
I collect worldwide to 1968 (then Intl #6), and have specialties in Colonial Africa & Nazi Germany.

Welcome, Richard.
If you have "...a myriad of duplicates..." you might explore the approval books section. It is a relatively easy way to turn duplicates into cash, and then to purchase the stamps you need. Kind of like a trading club with a middle man.

I too am a world-wide collector, and have Scott International vol. I - VII. Also have about 26
Scott specialty binders holding about 1/2 of the worlds nations.
I'm currently sorting and organizing 150,000 stamps to sell in auctions, and later in approvals.
