I don't know why i was born to browse and chase stamps...its just me...i was reading in the Smithsonian that there are guys whose whole life is about finding petrified elephant dung in the French Alps to try and determine which pass Hannibal used to enter Italy.I don't know how they did it...the fodder for 30 some elephants alone...never mind the horses and men. Whatever they ate...i imagine they ate it cold.

re: stamp collecting ..it could be worse ?

I am always amazed at hobbies when I go into a craft store (Michael's, AC Moore, etc) and see what craft people buy - papers, rubber stamps, binders, pages, etc. It is the industry behind it. Of course, some of the items are pricey but if you want some gold flaked paper they may have it.

i could dedicate whats left of my life to trying to prove whether Hannibal took the Col du Mont Cenis,the Col du Montgenevre or the Col de la Traversette route..or i could sort some duplicates and put them on the Stamporama auction. No advice from punsters please.
