I have been involved in philately for most of my 56 years. I specialize in United States Issues and Postmarks. I have numerous reference sources to research if I do not know the answer. I am organized and promise swift courteous answers. I am a member of the American Philatelic Society. I also have my own philatelic mail order business.
As I mentioned, I have been collecting philatelic items for most of my 56 years. I have several albums of United States issues (most of them are pages I designed myself) and I also have numerous albums of postmarks sorted and researchhed by state.

my goal is to share the hobby. By sharing, one can teach and learn at the same time.
stamp collecting is more than just the postage matter. It is the envelope (or cover), the postmark and the letter it contains. I have letters that were written early in the 1860's. It was the time of the civil war. Noting earth shattering news wise in these letters, but it is history that one cannot find in a text book.
