I collect Danzig as well and I think it is more difficult than it looks: limited number of stamps, hardly any _really_ expensive stamps, but still... the last 50 or so (as listed in Scott) are mostly missing, as are almost all semipostals. But I don't mind, I am not in a hurry to get this collection finished.

I'm getting there with the semi-postals, but it took a while. I'll post a picture of that part of the collection in a few days! Good luck Jansimon!!
Edit: You're right about the last groups of the regular stamps. I was just having a look through my collection and the last page only has a few stamps on it. I'm missing about 10 postage dues and the last few airmails as well. I guess my 90% looks a bit high, it's probably about 80% as well. I'll get a friend to take a picture of the semi-postals in a couple days, I'm missing 6 of those. A few of the later regular issues before that last page are hard to find as well. I get most of Danzig here and from my local dealer rather than e-bay.

I have been writing down the ones I miss and it turns out to be quite a lot. More than I thought. For instance, of the last 62 stamps (Sc. 193-254) I only have 3 (194, 233 and 238) and I miss semipostals B6-B32 (in other words, all except the first 5). airmail is slightly better, with only C26-35 and C37-45 needed.

The Danzig semi postals are some of the most attractive stamps you would see anywhere. As I said I am missing 6 of them: B11, 13, 14, 25 - 27. I'll post a picture of them in a few days, beautiful stuff! There's also a souvenir sheet, B21a, that I am lucky to have. It's a very affordable country as are most, if not all, of the stamps from the other two German states I collect, Bavaia and Wurttemburg. The last two are in Vol I of Scott's International Album so there are stamps everywhere! If it wasn't such a huge job I'd have separate pages done form a disc a member here sent me, the job would be huge!

Hello...
I also collect Danzig, but just the airmail stamps. I create my own pages for my collections, so here is the first page of my Danzig airmail stamps:

A bit tame after what Henry showed but here are my Danzig semi-postals. Great looking stamps and most of them were picked up here!
I'll fix the sideways bit later, lacking in patience at the moment! GOT IT!!!!
Some really nice cancels on the first page! Danzig is not an expensive area to finish but some of the stamps don't show up very often!

I collect three German states Bavaria, Danzig and Wurttemberg. Here are two pages of Danzig, the first of the regular stamps and the first airmail. My guess is that the country is about 90% complete and every once in a while I find a few more, mostly here. My wife and I always kept a small World collection in Vol I, II, III and IIIA of Scott's International Albums. When I got back into collecting after a bit of a break while Cathy was sick I looked through these albums and added about a douzen countries to my list of countries. I collect about 20 countries and a few areas and may add a couple more at a later date, I'll see what happens!
