Hello to you all! My name is Art and I'm new to StampoRama. I started collecting when a 3rd grade teacher at my school started a Stamp Collecting Club. Stayed with it on and off through the years and just recently (Feb 1 of this year) retired after 30 years as a UPS driver so now I have the time to go back and start finding out what I actually have. Trouble is, I end up bringing more stamps into the house before I find out what I have from the last time! I concentrate on US and Canada but will not turn my nose up to very much! I live outside of Atlanta GA and am active in my local stamp club. Look forward to expanding my knowledge and collection!

re: Hello!

Art,
Welcome aboard! I'm a bit to the south of you in Florida, close to Melbourne. Congratulations on retiring. I retired just over a year ago and it is quite a change of pace. Stamp collecting is tailor made for retirement.

Collected world wide and US as a kid, but now focus on Great Britain and Australia. (Hong Kong stamps are starting to entice me as well.)

Purchase most of my stamps on Ebay, but StampoRama is a good place to start. Some very good deals.

Enjoy!
Eric

Newly arrived myself but boy can I relate to that comment D'Oh

re: Hello!

Welcome, Art.

Focussing on Canada and the United States is a good start. I am sure you will find other countries in your worldwide collection to study.

Ask lots of questions and you will get some informed answers.

I thought that was an entry-level requirement to become a stamp collector... Winking
