I completely agree.
Where is the "pleasure" ? To receive a letter wiht 100+ good stamps, one surprise (1 unfamliary country, old stamps, litte gift ...), a philatelic stamp on the envelope (not only adhesive, not only defins),
I know sometimes it may be difficult for a newbee ... in this case, i encourage by a good note !
I just received 2 mailings, made with passion (short word, good stamps on enveloppe, 100+ stamps), even if for the one of two I already have 95% of these stamps ... They got the note of 5 ... as always in this case. They made me want to continue with the club!
