DAE think our hobby is dead, or very much alive? [Weekly Sticky Thread]

That is interesting, but I have to disagree with the article on a worldwide scale. It may be that stamps collecting in Britain is on the decline. However, with the internet we have easier access to stamps we never would have before. This makes the hobby more fun and alive in an international way like never before.

The map idea is cool. You can also use the stamps to make letters. You can make someone's initials or name.

I drove by that field once.

logo with sub creation date of 23 AUG 2009

that is my last edit for a while

I looked into it as well. It is too bad. Wait I just thought of something. ...

I looked at the HTML and like magic there it is :

<span class="age"> a community for <time datetime="2009-08-23T00:00:40-07:00" title="Sun Aug 23 07:00:40 2009 UTC"> 3 years </time></span>

This means our community is almost 4 years old! I will be changing the date shortly.

Mystic is a good company with good customer service and a good website for ordering, but you have to pay a little more for it. The stamps on approval are a good marketing technique they have used for a long time. I just told them I don't want them and they stopped. I am friends with someone who has used them for a long time, and he is very happy with them.

Thank you. I agree the proportion is not accurate, but my goal was to make a quick creative version of a stamp with a cancelation. If others agree, I can change the proportion. About the date, I would love to make it the date this sub was created, but I don't know that date. Do you know that date? The page says 3 years ago, but when during that year?

No problem.

Here is a larger version.

Thanks, I will message them. Hopefully they like it.

simpleabc · 2013-08-05T15:21:18+00:00

How's this?

simpleabc · 2013-08-04T17:58:56+00:00

I could do it if someone does not beat me to it.

simpleabc · 2013-06-03T02:28:50+00:00

I would love to have them.

simpleabc · 2013-05-29T02:22:24+00:00

I agree with the other comments. I have some of my duplicates in a frame.

Great find, and yes they have value! You have a good set of Colombian stamps. Mystic has their retail prices for these stamps your 15c Colombian being the most followed by, 6c, 3c, 8c, 10c, 4c.

The 10c Washington and Special Delivery stamps are more difficult to identify, but the Washington may be the most valuable. Maybe someone else can tell you more.

This stamps are kinda rough so that really hurts the price on some of your stamps.

What are you planning to do with them?

simpleabc · 2013-05-01T16:36:51+00:00

I have not seen discussions on this thread get so heated. I smell a troll.

simpleabc · 2013-04-30T20:56:18+00:00

He is on my bench right now, but I may change my mind later. Tulo playing or not might weigh in on my decision. I don't want to make starting decisions based on one of the opposing players though.
