New office building?


A new one in the FDC circuit for me. I don't have any Phd's in stamp collecting.



This appears to be an FDC as in"First day the post office opens".

I'm not certain though. Comments are very welcome here.



One could spend a lifetime just looking for these gems.

One of these days I will narrow my search.

I still need covers mailed to me from everywhere. Even repeat countries are cool for the new sets of stamps. I promise to respond in kind.

I really like the stamps from Portugal the other day.

Maybe + some if your lucky!!

Don't be shy to leave a comment for me to be able to quote one of you traders by.

I really don't want to beat my own drum, so if you think of anyone you know is a good exchanger of covers, please fwd a link to this site. I hate going into different trade groups and mentioning my blog site. I really don't want to do it.

http://blog.michael.dodd.com/ happened to mention yesterday that the IPDA was mentioned in http://stampcollectingroundup.blogspot.com/

I could be in the IPDA chatroom sometime.

Going on and on tonight......sorry.

NOT!!!

Prince of Wales Newfoundland style

St Johns East cancel, also a patriotic "Buy made in Newfoundland" cancel.

This cover is really as ugly as it looks. Still nice to have though.

Casablanca


This is no doubt a tough card to cypher out where it was mailed from. No postage stamp even!!!

OH!! I take that back. I guess all you had to do was pencil in FREE in place of the stamp!!

Portugal Masked Cover


Today turned out to be exciting!!

I got home and found this cover in my mailbox. Promised to me but forgotten about. I was in the IPDA chatroom during the marathon chat and mentioned to this guy that I needed Portugal in my quest.

By the way Jose, I can help you out on the space stamps, I just happen to have a few.

Masks are pretty cool. It's getting to be the time of year we all put costumes on for different festivals thruout the world.


Halloween comes to mind for me.


Even a super cool metered stamp!!!



Always looking for more countries. I still need Mexico to finish North America off. Costa Rica is the only Central American cover I have. Germany? Austria? Poland? Help!!!!
