When I was young our little informal club would hold swap meets and trade coins. We never traded for money exactly. But, we did trade based upon...
This is a great effort on your part. @Collecting Nut You are not going to start the next 10+ year run? I am certainly not.
Exactly. I am using my surplus for postage. Sometimes there are many stamps on an envelope and the clerks have to get their calculators out.
Thanks. I see the mint making ballast and USPS making wallpaper. I have to bring my US collecting to an end.
Amen. I collected stamps for as long as I collected coins. I have about 95% of all US stamps from the 20th Century and a good portion of the 19th...

I collected them up to and including this year. Long enough to close the Type 1 set. Now I am done with them.
Thanks for the feedback. I don't mind long winded at all. One thing we had a premium of when I was young was talking. No TV, just visit and talk....
I'm trying to get photos of my collection - for posterity more than anything. I have all the dollars, halves, dimes and nickels for the 20th...
We got 10 cents a line. But, they held back 2 cents for a bonus. If you stayed for the entire league season you would get the 2 cents per line as...
