Geez Darryl, I seem to be paving the road for you all over the place these days! Glad to help a brother out!
Cheers, Dave.

I'll take a picture on the weekend. I tried "my hand" on some of my early Canada engraved. Took a little more brain power but I was able to pick up some of the detail I can't see and didn't need my tv. It's a process of training my brain.
I definitely have my offer to swap. Come the new year I should have a friend who has time to help me make Approvals again. Looking forward to that again.
This has been a year of great change but it's not going to stand in my way.
This a truly a new life and I'm determined my stamps will stay part of it.
I've already lost the use of my library which needs to be sold off and I'll be damned if I lose my other love.

It is the embossed stamps that I can feel extremely well.
The engraved stamps I can also feel a lot of the detail as well
See https://stamporama.com/discboard/disc_main.php?action=20&id=15721#120338 for some pictures from my 1943 albums that I acquired.

An interesting discovery today as some US embossed stamps arrived in my post box today (thanks Paul).
I've only felt the top side of those within my new albums. Amazing that when you feel the back of the stamp which is of course inverted embossed - the words can be clearly read through touch whereas on the top side they take a little doings to figure them it.
From the front the figure has great detail to one's touch but inverted, you feel the delicacies of the facial features - the nose and chin shape and clarity.
The designs around the portrait on the embossed side can clearly be felt by touch to differentiate shape and design - rather interesting though is the framework clearly seen and felt on the embossed side does not even leave an imprint on the inverted side.
Quite a fascinating experience.

These are so cool - just received a few more. There is a bicycle that even the spokes are so vivid. Another has a tennis racket and ball - the mesh design of the racket is amazing! The details just come alive. I can imagine exactly what the racket looks like without seeing it.
Who knew there was a whole other world of stamps out there? I guess blind or people with limited vision really CAN enjoy stamp collecting. The clarity of some and the detail that I'm sure I would have missed just "looking" at it becomes a life of its own under my finger.
