In writing content for the various collecting categories, I have had to do quite a bit of research. In searching the internet for information, I have found it very frustrating that all I seem to locate are retail stamp sites. Education comes first. Someone without a knowledge-base in stamp collecting is probably not going to be "buying" anything, and doing so can be dangerous and very disappointing in the long run!

The goal of this project is to establish an all-encompassing site that addresses the informational needs of people that are curious about collecting, are beginning collectors, or are advanced philatelists. There will be sections on information concerning the various aspects of collecting, and sections on country / specialty specific collecting subjects.

Even though I have collected for over 50 years now, I DO NOT know EVERYTHING about every aspect of philately. If the visitor has an interest in an area that is missing from or not sufficiently covered in the site, I would welcome any content or articles they may submit, and may possibly add the new content to the site for other visitors to share. Many sections will eventually offer a form that the visitor can fill out, making it very easy to submit comments and page content about a particular collecting subject. Until then, you can use the Contact form at the left, to solicit email communication about your collecting interest.
