Any more votes? Looks like 'hardcore philately', varietal collecting, and forensic philately are taking the lead. Clever names all. I'll wait a bit more for the weekend voters.
Cheers!

The most votes go to Hardcore Philately with Forensic Philately a close second and Varietal Collecting 3rd place. Hardcore Philately wins the imperf block of 4! Woohoo!
So we now have a NOUN to describe this aspect of philately but as Ted points out we need a verb. So in honor of Ted's grammatical observations, "stumping" will get an imperf pair mailed on a cover as a sort honorary mention prize.
So, all you 'hardcore philatelists', raise your perf gauges, watermark detectors and UV lights and salute Josh Tanski the clever, witty creator of the term.
And a tip of the tongs to White Buffalo for giving us a handy little verb we can use when scratching our heads trying identify those tricky varieties.
Thanks everyone for joining in to have a little bit of silly fun. All of the entries were winners.
I have your addresses fellas - your prizes will be in tomorrows mail. Congrats!
