After that 2d step, I will surely invest in a set of Brusden-Whites
or in one or 2 volumes to begin. Which volumes would you suggest to acquire first ? Get what you can - I have the single loose leaf volume I have hundreds of old GB stamps : it will be my next country to sort out ... in 10 years ? When I have finished to classify my KGV's from OZ :-) Hundreds? There are about 3000 separately identifiable Penny Blacks! G |

Actually your family name seems to be strongly related to anotherb greek family name (quite common this one...), that of Courtidis (Courtides in French, Kourtidis in greek)). While searching for the origins of your name you should may consider the posibility that your name was writen initially with a k instead of c, namely Kourtiades (which is closely related to that of Kourtidis as I said). rgrds -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

What do you collect?
I have an inactive US collection started about age 10 thanks to an album given to me by an uncle. I collected mint through 1978 when I got ticked off due to the massive flood of stamps being issued each year. After adding about all the material to this collection I can afford, I quit collecting for many years. My wife is a collector though, and I saw an ad in her Linns for the Precancel Stamp Society a dozen years ago or so, swapped a couple of emails with a dealer, and before I knew it I was a precancel collector. I have a bureau collection that is about as complete as it ever will be, Over this past winter my wife printed out the free PSS album pages for Town and Type (one example of each type of precancel used in a town) collections for all states and territories, and I have begun migrating stamps from my hand made albums to the new ones. The pages are issued by state and territory. All the US is about 2800 pages. I have general collections (like a T&T except you try to get a copy of each precancel type on every face different stamp) for MS, OH, TX and eventually one for TN. General collections are for the masochistic precancel collector. For example, a complete Ohio T&T collection is about 1857 types. A complete Ohio general collection is probably on the order of 30,000-40,000 stamps. I also collect prepers (precanceled perfins), accumulate plain perfins thinking that someday I'll buy an album and mount them, and have an accumulation of precancels that show nail and screw heads used to repair the precancel devices. Not sure where these are going to end up, but I keep accumulating them. I collect covers commemorating US Bicentennial events that were issued by the local historical society, historical site or stamp clubs back in the 70's and 80's. These do not have to be precanceled to interest me. 8^) I do not collect any commercial or FDC versions of these events. For several reasons I've been mostly inactive for the last 18 months outside of buying some accumulations of precancels. Six more months and I hope things will have straightened out enough to allow me to be an active collector again. Sorry for the length, but there are few precancel collectors, and thought I should explain some of the terms. |

I've created some blank album pages for precancels. It's very easy to do as almost all the stamps are the same size. But I'm nowhere near 2800 pages... Bill |

I made several albums for T&T one year for the states I was most interested in, and agree it can be done, and has been done by many collectors over the years. I spent way too many hours typing in all the info once a page design was set. The PSS pages saved me making over 40 albums and updating the rest, and the page layout is much nicer than the layout I used. My wife printed the pages on 80 lb acid free card stock and they came out very nice. Check out the album for your favorite state: http://www.precancels.com/free-albums/ I still use several different specialty pages I made for my general collections. Those are posted in the files section of the precancel email list on Yahoo, along with a couple other folks contributions. You have to join the group to get access to the files. There is a link to the discussion group on the PSS site. Anybody feel free to post here if you ever find a source for decent peelable hinges like the old Dennisons. Please, please, please! Roy |

What do you collect?
Hello!
I collect for more then 60 years, I'd began at 7. and I am over 70. now!! I had never stopped to collect, I am member from CCCC (see here http://www.covercollectors.org/, it's an APS member) since 1957 to find friends in foreign countries I collect, bit now for some countries I don't find friends, it's a pity.. I collect so: France used only from "before stamp", one letter with each type of cancelation, to now , older also on letter and different cancelations on stamp alone or letter; I collect a lot of French things, always used, and have still more duplicates from beginning to now necessary to exchange with foreign friends. Swizerland used from "Strubeli" to now , I use Zumstein; I search a friend in this country to get modern used stamps; USA used from beginning to 1990, include precancels, I am APS member (mainly to get a newspaper I have interest and to have to read english); search mainly stamps before 1940 (straight edges) and precancel (but now time to discover all stamps I bought on Ebay 2 years ago); I search also a friend in the States, it seems difficult to find one that still collect French stamps; I use Scott specialized All Scandinavian countries used, with Facit or Michel and search a friend in Finnland and Iceland (I had never one in this country). All countries from older Yugoslavia (before and after) mint or used, how I find the stamps, but this collection is sleeping because not easy to find friends in those countries now, they have other things to do then collecting stamps I have now stopped to collect Argentinia and Israël mint because no time and they are mint collection, used stamps are better for me!! I think I have not miss out something! Best wishes for this week! -- Pour m'envoyer un mail, remplacer anti par droger et manama par wanadoo; to send me directly a mail replace anti with droger and manama with wanadoo; |
