My collecting started with new U.S. issues and worldwide approvals in the early 1950s. In the early 1980s I added covers. Then picture postcards. And maps. And airmail etiquettes. And luggage labels. A few revenue stamps. And old photos. And cigarette cards. A pack of Canadian “Corvette Cigarettes” without the cigarettes, and a few coins, and airline schedules, and military shoulder patches. Now you know where my money goes.

In my role as an oddball collector, I have an album full of glassine envelopes with inscriptions. All sizes and shapes and all with dealer or content advertising. Some are old, a few of them I paid good money for.
But I no longer add to the collection. It just sits there.

I do. Just to make GB collecting harder than it needs to be, I only want Liverpool CDS or BN466 cancels on my Queen Victoria stamps. Fortunately Liverpool was one of the major mail hubs, so it's not impossible. Just totally unnecessary
