philb 27 Dec 2015 11:20:14am Auctions	At last i have a definition of myself...more than a hoarder,more than a collector...i am a Sorter ! i will take a shoebox of a thousand stamps at random and sort through it..if all goes well i will find one or two that go into my albums and a couple to list in the auction..so you see the accumulation never really gets smaller...whats 6 stamps out of a thousand ? 2 Members like this post.

ikeyPikey 27 Dec 2015 12:19:37pm	re: The Mad Sorter We can break the whole process into emotional components: - the treasure hunt / rescuing ... from pawing thru the pile - creating order in the universe / defeating chaos ... from sorting into little piles - creating permanence / cheating death ... from albumization etc Stamps may be little, but stamp collecting is HUGE.

ScanStamps 27 Dec 2015 10:31:47pm	re: The Mad Sorter Nice to hear there's a name for this condition... I never was much good at the whole meticulous "buy one stamp to fit one empty space" approach! ~Peter Login to Like this post scanstamps.blogspot.com
