Dear fellows,
I'm an advanced thematic collector, meanwhile "in the business" for more than 30 years ... and therefore interested primarily in recent commemorative stamp issues. All the "common" older stamps I've held in my hand dozens of times.
You certainly give me the greatest pleasure with a motley, surprising mix of interesting, exciting motif stamps from as many different countries as possible.
My preferences:
- wet-adhesive, postally used commemorative stamps from the period 1996-2026 (they should really have been used for postal purposes)
- interesting, exciting, unusual, just-not-everyday motifs
- basically all countries worldwide, but of course particularly all exotic and hard-to-get states (overseas, island states, microstates ...)
What I don't really need:
- mint/MNH, self-adhesive, CTO and definitive stamps / covers, FDCs, miniature sheets a.s.o.
- stamps issued before 1990
- any (non-postal) material that was produced exclusively for collectors' purposes or the philatelic market
- cinderellas, fantasy states, fake issues, bulk stuff/goods
- stamps from countries with more or less dubious issuing policies (Eastern Europe until 1990, Guinea-Bissau, Mongolia et.)
What should be a matter of course for every serious stamp collector: Please frank your letter cleanly with one (or even more) current commemorative stamp issues from your country - I would REALLY appreciate that! Philately lives on and from beautifully and lovingly franked letters.
Of course, also make sure that ALL stamps on the envelope are actually cancelled! Uncancelled and unused stamps are, from a philatelic perspective, worthless.
Thanks very much!
Best, Lutz
