New Issues (new foreign stamps)

Every country sells stamps for postage use. Most issue new stamps every month or so that show interesting tidbits regarding people, places, or things of the country. I can obtain most of
these new stamps and pass them along to interested collectors. They are always mint, unused and uncanceled stamps or sheets.

Blogs

I forgot about this blog. My other blog is here. The hazards of creating email addresses and then forgetting about them!

I found the blog www.stampersbasket.blogspot.com which I didn't give credit for before.
I was a member of ISWSC (International Society of Worldwide Stamp Colelctors) in 2004 and
may rejoin. The APS has nice sales circuits however it costs over $7 postage to forward them.
I don't have much experience in a trading circuit. It seems much easier to just buy stamps on approval but I hate paying more than 1/2 Scott catalog for anything.

A little more about me: I started collecting as a kid. A family friend took me to a stamp shop in Portland. He game me an old red covered worldwide album, bound, and I obtained a Brookman catalog in the days they were little shiny paper pocket books sized. In the beginning I was using
masking type tape to mount the stamps! (Shame on me!) I bought a Regent worldwide album---maybe published by Grossman? Not sure. Had to get a 2nd binder because I'd put donut type reinforcements on the loose leaf paper holes. Made it too thick! I eventually gave that album to my son.

Beginning

I found the Stampser's Basket via Stampcentral Yahoogroup. Looked interesting so thought I'd also do a bit of blogging about Worldwide Stamp Collecting.

More to come. Just got dinner call!
