i agree! our hobby is dying... in past year, I lost 6 correspondents - 3 died and 3 are from Israel and i cant send to them.Stamps are hard to get and even thou those u can - are selfadhesive and branded by nominal letter (A, B, C) and reprinted over and over again. People who look for stamps from-to and quote just new ones + not on paper, cant get a lot of material from me
Who knows what will happened - some postal offices are still issuing stamps, high nominal, just for us, never used in postal transfers. and thats a shame
lets enjoy till we can!
