Has anyone tried collecting various country stamps with images of stamps as the central theme? Is there any place to go without searching every country? Maybe not new, but just an idea for another type of collection.

Thanks Bobby. I knew there had to be someplace to find the information. Now I have something else to work on.

re: Images of Stamps on Stamps

OVER 4000 stamps on stamps!!! I might just reconsider the idea. I have enough problems just trying to fill holes in the collections I already have.

Thank everyone for the information, will have to think about this for a while.

re: Images of Stamps on Stamps

Mel....

If you need to cut back on the size of such a collection, you might opt to collect only those stamps that commemorate the centenary of the issuing country's stamps... such as shown by Roy in the previous post. That will decrease the size of the collection considerably. This is exactly what I decided to do when adding this to my topical collections.

I've seen a lovely collection that one of my customers has. He is a GB specialist, and his topical is "The Penny Black" on Stamps. It's a lovely, inexpensive collection.

Working on a page for my small collection of CSA stamps. Ran across this beauty. I've got one on the way. De La Rue considered the CSA 5c the finest product of the company at the time. This stamp comes from a set of four from 1971. They are all readily available mint or CTO but I'd really like to have a copy genuinely used. I found the 2 1/2 p value used but not this one. Would these stamps, and particularly this value, have seen regular use or were they primarily collector items. Thanks in advance

re: Images of Stamps on Stamps

Here's one I bought recently.

It's a bit like a "Spot the Stamp" competition, but, although not a great collector of Belgium (which could change); it intrigued me.

Believe me, the real thing looks even better ..... and perhaps carries a subtle message for all of us who keep staring at masses of stamps that need sorting Big Grin
