My name is Ronald Kirst. I live in the south of Brazil. I am glad to join this group.
I collect stamps as a hobby since I was a kid, but I left my collection untouched for some years. Since last year, I came back to the world of stamps. I would like a lot to meet new friends, swap stamps and learn through this channel.
My main interests are:
- Brazil (mint);
- Greece (mint or used);
- Sports (mint or used);
- Literature (mint or used);
- Ecology (mint or used);
- Many worldwide regular series (mint or used).

re: New member from Brazil
Greetings, Ronald and welcome to the SOR. I collect the world and Brazil and Greece are two of my favorites. I have my collection online and you may find it handy for reference. Both Brazil and Greece are nearly complete, so they should aide you in seeing what is there and finding what you might be looking for.
Here are URL's to them, there are to parts to each country, regular and B.O.B.

Good luck collecting and ask any questions you, some one will likely repond to anything you might ask.
As a new member myself, I am curious about what Brazil specific stamp albums might be available in Brazil which are not available in the United States?
In looking online today the only album I have found is the Scott Specialty album for Brazil which is quite expensive. I am about two third's completed for all issues in the Brazil section of the Scott International 1840-1940 album (mostly need the semi-postals, postage due, and officials now with a few stamps from the 1930's strangely enough) and am looking for alternatives for expansion. Today, I even downloaded and setup the AlbumEasy 3.6.0 software to have a go at creating an album from scratch with it but the cost of archival quality paper and binders is looking a bit excessive. though so far seems to be the best solution as I will likely only expand up to 1975 at the latest.
I do have a secondary Minkus Global Supreme album but am unsure how representative it would be. Currently I have 225 mint stamps in it going up to 1968 while the International is almost all used stamps.
