Pushing 330,000 All Different Worldwide Stamps In One Collection .

Excellent on Sweden. I have two lighthouse hingeless albums and seven vario pages that I move stamps around in. Collecting cancellations. Shades. Strips, and now adding some covers.

Each collector decides for themself how they want their collection to look .

There are a few things that drive me crazy as I look at other collectors collections . The Scott International vol. I is loaded with pages that have broken/partial sets , they don't deal with complete sets only . How do you value these broken sets ?

Then other collectors like blank stock books again are the sets complete ? Without a catalog present your not sure . Recently a major auction firm put up scans of a dealers life time inventory. The scans were a fast flip thru of the inventory . You could not see at first look ,were you buying a book full of broken sets or a much higher reason to bid high if you knew everything was in those binders ,again you have to lower your bidding to adjust to what you see in a quick scan .

This is why I like STEINER PAGES for viewing and bidding on material .

Another thing that gets my underwear all bunched up is, the dumb idea of mounting mint hinged stamps in mounts without telling the viewer that they are not mint NEVER hinged .......here is a sample of my page ,it makes it clear what the stamps are . Remember if you have to bid on stamps that are in mounts with the understanding they are hinged unless the auction house clearly states the fact of what your bidding for .

Thank you for the answer to my previous question. Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this but can someone help me with these stamps is one of them a forgery?

No, it was issued in two colours.

KyleB ---- I believe this is what you may be thinking of

This forgery is a Propaganda forgery produced in the United States for the OSS.

Here is more on this subject of Hitler Head forgeries

Ok yes I believe you're right that is what I was thinking of. I just couldn't find online for sure that it was issued in two colors. Thank you for helping me to learn. I'm assuming if I get the 12 volume ww scott catalogue set all that info will be there. My friend is supposed to sell me his 2013 set when he upgrades in May.

KyleB ----Glad to help .

My Forgery Collection is different than others . I try to match up fake stamps next to a real stamp . I belive most collectors will be able to see a scan and notice the differences themselves in most cases.So if anyone tells you I am buying expensive damaged stamps for my country collections ,you will know those are in my Forgery Collection . I see no reason to dump a lot of expensive stamps or a lot of money into it . A damaged real stamp will work as a comparsion without a big cash outlay .
