What Topics Do You Actively Collect?

Curious what topics you actively collect.

I collect stamps with cars, trains, and flowers mostly, with some stamps-on-stamps. Otherwise, a stamp has to strike my fancy for other reasons. I also am a sucker for a nice engraved issue...

UPDATE: I forgot to add US revenues, private die, and other back-of-book. I recently started looking at state tax stamps, but can't dive into collecting them just now...

Hi Nells

For myself, I collect the Martial Arts (not regular sports) on stamps. My wife collects Dogs and sealife on stamps

Chimo

Bujutsu

Nells, for the most part I collect a half dozen countries but a year ago started to pick up a few topical packages that tickled my fancy. I enjoy viewing ships, planes, zeppelins, fire/police, trains, dinosaurs(for grandchildren), lighthouses, hockey and war. I don't care if they are CTOs because these stamps are for my own enjoyment.

Nells, my topical interests are wooden boats, from wooden sailing ships to native craft, wooden boatbuilding, and some related seafaring stuff if it fits my criteria of "I like it". I also enjoy finding out about different engravers and collecting their work. I have a "sub-topical" bubbling away which might come to the surface of handcrafts, basket making, weaving, woodworking, that kind of thing.

I collect Abraham Lincoln. I've been cosidering starting a road trip themed collection: automobiles, traffic signs, roadside attractions, and scenic roads.

Apart from Aust Pre-Decimal
Anything to do with Motorcycles Stamps,Covers,Postmarks.

I have great interests in triangle shaped stamps and any king of odd or odd shaped stamp.
Finally building some interest in Cinderellas and stamp expos.
