The famous stamp collector Josiah Lilly said that there were 100,000 postage stamps he wanted for his collection and he succeeded in acquiring 77,000. My considerably easier target is 35,000 of the more common stamps from 1840-1940 contained in the Scott Blue International Album Volume 1. This blog will record my progress, provide general information about Classic era philately and hopefully encourage other "Blue" collectors.

And Now For Something Completely Different...
This post is pretty much off the wall but I came across a set of album pages on eBay titled 19th CENTURY BRIEFMARKEN CUT-SQUARE ALBUM. These are 305 or so pages only for envelopes, wrappers, postcards and money orders (?), world-wide, through about 1913 (?) according to the seller. I assume these are reprints. I don't recall having seen anything like this before and couldn't find more information on the set via Google. So just in case the set is new to anyone else, I thought I would mention it.
