Hi all,

I'm a brand new collector, and have only been collecting for about 4 weeks, but I have already jumped in to the hobby in a big way.

I have purchased a lot of stamps and a lot of supplies and have really been enjoying the hobby so far.


Thanks!


Johnny

re: Hi from Michigan, USA!

Hi all,

LOL, I actually made up this name when I was into Model Rocketry a loooong time ago. I had never known that there was a restaurant by the same name! Happy

Well, being a new stamp collector, the whole "world" of stamps is pretty new. The nice thing is, at the age of 50, I finally have a little money to spend on a hobby if I want to, and stamps appear to be as inexpensive or expensive as one wishes, as far as a hobby goes.

My interests run deeply into the back story of interesting stamps and probably topical collecting, which I had not really heard about until yesterday on this website. Did I mention I was a new collector!? Winking

So my interests are anything from the 1930's, commemorative stamps, topical collecting of ships, flowers and insects, and general collecting of Germany/Great Britain and the world to some extent. Again the disclaimer, I'm new to stamps, so I kind of want to do it all at once!

I love how this hobby fits into my life, because I have VERY spotty hobby time, thus being able to pick something up and put it down quickly works well for me. Plus my wife and I really like history, so stamps are pretty interesting.

Anyway, enough about me... thanks everyone for the great welcome and I'm VERY pleased to be here and a part of this great group!

re: Hi from Michigan, USA!

Very cool Phil!

The company I work for is German and I have a lot of friends in Germany.

I have thought quite a bit about starting to collect German stamps too.

That could really expand my topical options. But for that matter branching into worldwide stamps would help me a lot. I haven't got there quite yet, still mess'in with US stamps at the moment.

Hi Sleepy,

I'm in Tecumseh.

So according to Google, we're 2 hours and 15 mins apart.

I'm quite South and a fair amount East.
