I should not have left out worldwide collecting ladies ..sorry, please join in !
i see now that i should have posted this under worldwide..if a moderator wants to move it ..please,please !
Pursue is probably a too strong word, but if any of those land under my nose (either as used or CTO), they'll end up to my albums
-k-
i gotcha, most of my international collecting stops at 1969..so i am spared !
Thank you Phil for correcting that
I'm a true A to Z worldwide collector, all inclusive.
What's not to like in modern stamps like this?
With limited prints runs these (and even many of the CTOs) are likely far more difficult to obtain than say Penny Black (though only at a fraction of a cost).

I found two partial sets with the HI Value missing,its a shame they make it difficult to complete a set unless you purchase mint never hinged.
"its a shame they make it difficult to complete a set unless you purchase mint never hinged."
The scott pages only had spaces for 7 stamps for the birds and reptiles and 6 for the flowers..so they do not allow for a complete set either !
Oops ! the scott catalog says the 20r deer is from a souvenir sheet ..
My wife collects tulips..she said leave them in the album..but i do not need them !
I collect every thing so all of the odd new countries to infinity and back. I even include "Dunes". While Scott does not currently recognize many of them, Michel does and much of the rest of the world seems to collect them. I've only recently limited my collection to used and even that is fluid. In early colonies, I am like nature ad abhor a vacuum so if mint fills the space, mint it is part of the collection until I find used. I figure it is my collection and I set the rules so I can break them.

I have no doubt that is a part of their plan.
It can be thwarted by seeking postally used or at least cancelled such that you can convince yourself might have been postally used.
I call myself a worldwide collector..of course i have favorites..i just picked up some scott internationals with pages..and again this is for "worldwide collectors " only..How many of you persue Armenia(modern)Azerbaijan,Bhutan,Georgia,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan,Tadjikistan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan ?
