I've been a lurker/member for some time but have not yet introduced myself. I returned to collecting a few years back after dropping it as I entered college. My focus has been used US, although I'm toying with the idea of giving up it up in disgust over non-soakability, abusive numbers of new issues, and all the usual complaints. My dad left me several boxes of worldwide mid-20th century stamps that I have finally finished soaking and mostly sorting by country, so perhaps I'll pivot in that direction. I make my own album pages BY HAND! Not efficient, but very relaxing. Thanks to all for the many interesting threads and the good information.

re: Greetings from Minnesota

Welcome, sure a lot of Minnesotans here, I was born and raised and now a Zonie (Arizona)

US used is my main interest as well, I also took up WW to about 1960 and have been exploring that for a couple of years now, the WW is the casual collection the US is the $100.00 and up empty spaces in my album collection.

Welcome, Brad! Glad you decided to "out" yourself from lurker status. Enjoy the ride.

Welcome aboard Brad, from sunny SW Florida. I also gave up on US stamps a few years ago, along with many of the other countries that just keep pumping out "wallpaper" with the intent of getting collectors to the poorhouse faster.

Hi Brad,

If you are in the Twin Cities metropolitan area (as I am) there are a lot of great philatelic organizations in your area!
