Year of your birth stamps
I thought of what might be a new topic for collecting. A "Year of my
Birth stamps' collection. In my case, I plan to put together at least one stamp from every country or entity that issued stamps during that particular year. The stamps are to be as representative of the country or of what happened in the country during that particular year, along with a written "snapshot" of the country in that particular year (was it independent, what was the system of governent, who was the president or leader, etc), including perhaps one or more additional stamps of later years that may help with the "snapshot". I wonder if anyone has attempted and been sucessful with such a collection. |
