I collect mostly shells and marine life stamps which started out by my
collecting shells. From there I started collecting nature stamps and because of that started collecting orchids and epiphyllum cacti. I have always been interested in archaeology and other cultures so I began collecting stamps with those subjects if the images were good. I collect some with what I consider great artwork on them because I am an artist and was a printer for several years. Space stamps, medicine, science and unusual sets are collected also. And of course any stamp or philatelic item that has weird stuff as subject matter or orrigin, like ufos and aliens. I also collect carnival and uranium glass, telephone insulators, post cards, coins and paper money (also for the artwork), head vases, and rhinestone jewelry from the 50's and earlier, as well as the plants and shells mentioned earlier. And I've just started collecting autographs which will tie together the postcards and stamps collecting. I lurk here, checking the posts nearly every day but haven't posted much because of events beyond my control. Shell "Victor Manta" wrote in message ... I have noticed (but I can be wrong) that the number of postings in RCSD decreased in the last time. Isn't it a bit strange, especially when considering that on news:fr.rec.philatelie (the stamps NG in French) there are more and more postings, and anyway more than here? For this reason I wonder how many actively participate or are at least read the postings in this NG. May I invite you to answer this posting, by eventually adding a short comment, for example about what are you collecting. Your posting will let know to our visitors how large actually is the experience of this philatelic group. Please infer my modest domain of knowledge from my signature.

... You've struck a responsive chord, Victor! USA Australia Lighthouses Computers on Stamps (of course!) Bill, I've just returned your membership application (and added the PCSG-logo to my sites -- see the about author page) :-) Other than art and philatlic arts (engravings) I should add, that I've started new collections on China pre-1950, and French Colonies, which will both keep me busy for a while ... ;-) -- Best regards Ann Mette Heindorff (Mette) reply to heindorffhus at heindorffhus dot.dk http://www.heindorffhus.dk |

Almost always just a reader--but I really enjoy the banter and find that I
learn far more than I could hope to contribute. My collecting limps along, but I collect used blocks--mostly USA, but GB, Canada and any others that I can find make their way into my albums SOTN--working on a calendar postal history--primarily different rates, USA and GB, stampless postal history--my home town in Ohio fancy cancels Roger Moretz rmoretz two at earthlink dot net |

I accumulate rather than actively collect many other countries. |

Victor et al,
World Wide (everything and anything) prior to 1940. US to mid 1980s Canada to mid 1980s Great Britain to mid 1980s Exhibit collection is OOPS! (Postal oddities and mistakes - not necessarily errors but just things that went wrong) George Pettigrew PS: Read this group every day and reply or post very infrequently. |

Although I find little on my own personal interests (military mail), I am also
a writer for Mekeel's & Stamps Magazine in the U.S. and find many of the discussions here offer fodder for future articles. It keeps me informed of the interests of many collectors. |

Hi
I'm a long time collector of worldwide revenues and cinderellas. I have exhibited in national, regional and local stamp shows in the US. At the national level I've gotten everything from a thanks (maybe) to gold. Among other projects, I am now editor of the Catalog of United States Revenues Perfins. It will include federal, state and local revenues, and covers perforated initials, designs and numbers; perforated dated cancellations; cut out initials, designs and numbers; and such items. Anyone interested, please contact me directly. Cinderellas are for fun, Art From: "Victor Manta" Reply-To: "Victor Manta" Newsgroups: rec.collecting.stamps.discuss Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 08:22:51 +0200 Subject: What are we collecting.
