I dare not compare my collection to that of Mitch's, and I get so much enjoyment looking at his collection each day... BUT WATCH OUT..Here comes mine...
Well if Mitch works from the Classics forward and Robert works from the Moderns backwards, we'll have a nice collision at some point in the near future!

"...if ...Robert works from the Moderns backwards..."
Bobby G's "moderns" are 2003-2009. It's almost 2017.
As a fellow geezer who is struggling to keep up with the pace of modern life (and whose Germany has stalled at year 2000) I think we should let him work forward!!!

re: Bobgggg's page of the day
My Germany ends at 2000 and that is as late as any of my countries go, many of mine only go to 1960. However it's nice to see stamps that are beyond my cut-off dates. Keep em coming Bogggg
Phil, I'm with you! Anything after the mid-1970's is "modern." That's when the Post Office killed the plate block community by issuing ridiculous numbers of multi-color, multi-stamp, multi-plate stamps. Not to mention upsetting those of us still in school and working odd jobs for stamp money by issuing fifty flags, fifty birds, fifty flowers, etc. And then to give us a taste of the future, we get the first self-adhesive Christmas stamp.
So fast forward thirty years and I re-enter the hobby. There have been some nice issues since then, but I still think of everything since my high school days as "modern." My WW collection ends at 1965, the year I started collecting!
