"but oh the cost in bone and marrow to me would be severe !!!"
If I had my druthers I'd love to collect "Tokelau Islands, postally used, especially on cover.
Here's why;
My visit to the Tokelaus
But finding genuine Tokelau stamps that were even within 600 miles of one of the islands is essentially out of the question.
I do have three Tokelau covers, one of which from a missionary to someone in Ohio may have been mailed from there, but I suspect that if the letter it contained was written on one of the islands the stamps and cancellation was done on Western Samoa at the Islands agency office.
My second choice would be Guam overprints on cover. But the price is out of my range for the foreseeable future.
What I would really like to collect is the pension of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

For my Cinderella collection I'd like to collect Private and Semi-postal airline company labels, the Palestine Air Line Company being top of the list.
But most are just too costly for my meagre budget so I'll stick with the riff-raff for now.
But I can dream......
That one I got for nothing, I was lucky.
Londonbus1...still dreaming.
When it comes right down to it what i would really like to collect is the First World War occupation stamps of Austria in Italy and Italy in Trentino and Trieste..but oh the cost in bone and marrow to me would be severe !!!
