G'day AJ,

Welcome to the site. Not a stamp collector myself but used to be when I was just a nipper. Had some really cool stamp back. Now that I think about it, I have no idea what I did with those stamp collecting books of mine :confused:

I did a quick google for you and found some other stamp collecting forums. Some of these forums have heaps of members which is always good for the knowledge side of things.

I imagine there is an industry in the stamp collecting world. I guess some people can make a living from it. Do you buy and sell much?

All the best.

Funny this thread showing up.I was just thinking about my stamp album's the other day.I actually quit collecting around 1980(discovered girls I think),I was wondering what it's value is now...I was President of the stamp club back then,for two years running.We had swap meets,perforation guage tutorial's,postmaster general as special guest speaker,etc.

I didn't know philately?was still alive,lol.Cool links.
