re: Thank you everyone!
Welcome to the SOR and back into stamp collecting. Like you mot of us started collecting around 8 years old and continued up into our teens when other things demanded our attention. Many years later we found the urge to get back into the hobby. I started in 1958 when I was 8 years old, I pretty much gave it up around 15. In 1988 I had seen that the stamp market had taken a big hit and prices were way down from where they had been in a long time. In the last 30 years the market has had some ups and downs but has for the most part stayed where they were in 1988. So I'd say this as as good a time as any. The internet has brought new life into the hobby making buying, selling and trading much much easier than it ever has been. Follow the link at the bottom of my post to see what I have accomplished in these last thirty years. You should find it a valuable reference because it shows most of the stamps the countries of the world have issued up until recently.
