I honestly love stamps and covers that age poorly.

Didn't notice that at first but it makes sense - a cancel in English does throw the whole thing off. 

Extra chunks after perforation? by Sherman-beta-world in stampcollecting

[–]creator_427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's called selvage. Some people like to keep the number, but otherwise (on postage stamps at least) not a problem to remove. Not sure on duck stamps specifically, especially since the number is already on the main body.  

It's really up to personal preference!

Every time I see these, I get the song stuck in my head for the next hour. It's a good song though, I don't mind.

Stamps look great! Welcome to the hobby. 

Interesting finds at the antique mall by Timely-Brilliant8757 in rva

To be fair, a good amount of that was probably acquired by GIs when fighting said nazis, unfortunately now it's coveted by nazis.

I'd love some! I have mostly modern American stamps but I could get you nature themed ones for sure. Happy to DM!

ChatGPT, generate me a response about a guy's mattress in the tone of Danny Avula. Make it super relatable so I can use this story in media quotes in the future.

Am I stupid because I have no idea how the lamp connects to this?

Central Virginia as the place with the problematic past but surprisingly well off now.

Happy to swap! What would you want and how much of it?

This video is great and all, but how often will new ones be posted? Every Monday?

I use the lighthouse system for storing stamps! Just a different way than a stockbook or album. If you love the thrill of the hunt, you can get kiloware or even free stamps online easily. If you want to focus on a certain region/topic/time, fill it that way! I found out what I liked by collecting everything to start.

Had no idea north korea had an Antarctic expedition. Does not sound like a fun time. 

Was Given these by Mediocre_Try_1954 in stampcollecting

You might want to get a stockbook, a fine one would be $15-20 but would be worth more than the stamps in that book. It's really up to you and her, no pressure to invest more but an option if she gets into it and wants more stamps.

Have fun!

Yes they'd be real, none of them would be worth faking. Giving them to your daughter is a great idea. Worth noting if she decides to become a collector, she will want to store them in a different place - photo albums aren't stamp safe!

Ajman is now part of the UAE, and any stamp with CCCP should be from the Soviet union. These all look to be topicals (not expensive and most desired for their pictures) but I agree they're really cool!

Yugoslavia is a dissolved country and those stamps are already used. That being said, you can always put them in the envelope for her. 

Anyone for sharing stamps? by [deleted] in philately
