Offer to new collectors

While some of here are obviously dedicated, long-time collectors, I'd like to make an offer to those people new to collecting, or to collecting U.S. stamps. The first 10 people who send me their request (use the "inbox/conversations" option) and address will be the potentially happy recipients of a randomly selected 100 U.S. stamps from the mid- to late- 20th c. No questions, no expected trades, just 100 stamps.

 

Thats a great way to help someone jumpstart their stamp collection. Way to go, Alvin!!!!!

 

very nice indeed!!!

 

Still no takers....

 

Wow!!! I would think somebody would want some free stamps.

 

we just need to get some new members who have not started collecting stamps to respond lol

 

I just made up the packets. Lots of 3c & 4c commemorative, some newer (13c & 15c) commemorative, and some regular issues too. I didn't get to any airmails or postage due, but if anyone would like either, I could make a substitution.

 

The problem here is that we are all shall I say established collectors and not realy starting out, with the exception of possibly a couple LOL

 

That's all right; I'm patient, sort of, and I'm hoping that the description will draw in a couple of new people. I know, it's a subversive thing to do, but...

 

Thanks for replying in my trade "My US Collection" and that's make me aware of this thread.
I am not new in collecting stamps but I knew little in terms of identifying them "professionally" since I collect all stamps and not a certain collection. Will happy to receive more US stamps, I will PM you.

 

Two down! And there's a new bonus, courtesy of ratio411: a 2c Columbian in every packet!

 

I need some- most of that year period. may I? PLUS my Daughter is new to collecting and she would be thrilled!

 

I should send you some air mails and postage due as well. I have hundreds of duplicates, maybe thousands of some of the postage dues.
I'd like to see some of those get out to people that need them.

 

Jay, I got your "conversation," and yes, I'll be happy to send a couple of packets your way.
ratio411, I'd be happy to include anything you send my way.

 

Sweet! You guys are awesome. I like it here. I hope to buy a hoard soon so I have stuff to give away too~

 

it is not giving away it is trading lol

 

you know what I meant silly...

 

Also, so it's clear, I inherited the bulk of my collection and as of the moment I only really have newer USA issues to trade. If that's OK. I hope to have the "hoard fairy" visit me soon and then it'll be ON!! lol OK that's all. haha

 

it is not a problem, enjoy getting your collection up, rather than worry about trading.
the trading fairy will be along after
