I just wanted to have a post in the new year!

I do have a question though, I have a pile of "Sand Dune" country stamps. Does anyone collect these? I thought they might be fun to let the kids play with...

I believe my mother got them through Harris approvals in the early late 70's and early 80's.

Thanks and welcome to 2012 friends!

Regards,

Garner

There are plenty of people who collect them. Michel has a catalog for them as well. Bill Steiner has album pages for most of this area.

Thanks Michael,

Good to know, I am torn as to what to do with them. Some are interesting, yet there is something "cheesy" about them. :)

Regards,

Garner

Auctions
re: What to do with Sand Dunes

if you want to find new homes for them, you can try to group them as topicals and see what happens. Our auction has a topical category, and you might want to highlight the topic in the heading, say, "horses" or "birds of prey" or whatever, while still including them in the country (and continent) headings

re: What to do with Sand Dunes

I buy and sell collections on a regular basis and always get a page full of these stamps and sometimes albums full. While there is not a lot of demand for them here in the US as country items, they are popular in Europe and Michel lists many of them. I bought a 2006 Michel nd a lot of them are quite epensive. If I ever get around to doing internet sales I will put them out on Ebay. Now I just take them to shows and put the small souvenir sheets (there are thousands) out in a bin and sell them for 35 to 50 cents apiece primarily to topical collectors. In a recent collection, I got two large volumes of them so here over the winter, I have been putting them on stockcards and will try selling the individual stamps or sets as topicals when I start shows again. I give quite a few away to kids as they get a kick out of picking through the bins.

Hi Garner, I'd love to trade for any of the following sand dune topicals: cats, airplanes, zeppelins or math on stamps. Thanks! THOM
