I checked both out and enjoyed the discussions.<br /><br />I am continuing to make some progress on my International 1840-1963 collection and managed to locate a partial International part V collection at a local stamp dealer which had selected A to H coountries with both Part V and VA pages in a VA binder with a good number of stamps for me to select some mint/unused additions for my collection and have now passed 42% completion for the Part 5 1960 to 1963 album for a milestone of 4 of every 10 stamps in that album. Just need about 20 more stamps to reach 5,000 different in my Part V album. Still have the H countries to check so between Haiti and Hungary I should complete that additional milestone. I am hoping to have a chance to check for some new additions for my album tomorrow afternoon!<br /><br />On a side note, I have made a lot of progress on Scott Specialty album collections for France and Great Britain over the past few months and have purchased two additions for my Finland collection which leaves me with less than ten stamps to go for that collection. I have ended up with six used stamps for that collection plus a very small number of mint no gum stamps with #36 being the most notable. Just need #'s 1, 11, 20-24, and the two highest value Aunus overprints since 14 and 15 have been deprecated in the Scott catalog. albumfillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393321322958144500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749098825907573686.post-15376080250506443292021-11-03T16:41:14.051-04:002021-11-03T16:41:14.051-04:00I suggest that you google this: "collect the ...I suggest that you google this: "collect the world" stamps.<br /><br />You'll find many helpful sites, such as:<br /><br />An article by Janet Klug:<br />https://www.linns.com/insights/a-world-of-fun--worldwide-stamp-collecting.html<br /><br />An interesting discussion on the Stamp Community website:<br />https://www.stampcommunity.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77409&whichpage=1&<br />Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202098671443782842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749098825907573686.post-87067921976505583222021-10-17T10:41:31.098-04:002021-10-17T10:41:31.098-04:00Somewhat interestingly I am finding it notably dif...Somewhat interestingly I am finding it notably difficult to locate the mentioned resources as none appear to be available online as far as I can tell. :(<br /><br />I very much agree that adding some pointers to online resources relating to world wide collecting would have been a worthwhile addition!albumfillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393321322958144500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749098825907573686.post-73251863569636473442021-09-17T21:30:03.440-04:002021-09-17T21:30:03.440-04:00Great minds think alike. ;-)

Thanks!<br /><br />I wish, though, in the age of the internet, he might have suggested some resources for those who would like to start a WW collection - perhaps including your site (Filling Spaces) and my site (Bigblue 1840-1940). :-)<br /><br />Jim JacksonJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.com
