re: Tis the season for stamp collectors to treat ourselves !

I told my wife that I wanted the USPS Annual Set including mail-use and high-value stamps!

That's a double gift!

Easy for her.

Lot's of stuff I don't have to allocate my personal funds for.

re: Tis the season for stamp collectors to treat ourselves !

I've been trying to get my wife to buy me the 2018 H E Harris catalog for Christmas to go with my 2017 1840-1940 Scott Classic catalog that I bought for myself earlier this year from an auction as an upgrade for my 2006 version.

I have been heavy into Canada purchases this year as well and just recently completed from Scott # 122 through the year 1978 with back of the book completed except for F3 which I must be too cheap for on my auction bids. Happy Other than the Jubilee issues I am down to 20 stamps left which I consider practical to collect based on their catalog values for the earlier issues from Canada. Other than the #122 stamp and earlier somehow I managed to find mint stamps for everything, well, actually there are quite a few hinged stamps so some would prefer I use the term unused and/or un-cancelled stamps.

Starting to pick up some Newfoundland issues as a follow-up to the Canada collection. Of course, I am still working on my album move from the Minkus Supreme Global albums to Scott International I through V as well and have been picking up some of the holes in pages (holes, what am I saying?, really completely empty pages that are taunting me!) here on Stamporama through the auctions mostly.

I got my H E Harris at Hobby Lobby and with their 40% off coupon it was a bit more than $10. Just check the year, last I looked they had the 2017.

re: Tis the season for stamp collectors to treat ourselves !

They are opening a new Hobby Lobby in town but it isn't going to make it by Christmas. I printed off the coupon but it expired. Sad

Barnes and Noble has the 2018 now at the local store but I am TRYING to be patient, well long-suffering anyway. Nail Biting
