Here is a link to a great list of everyday terms (and a few obscure ones LOL) that are used in our hobby A great resource for the beginner and the more advanced collector

It misses out my favourite ..........

NBG ~ a damaged stamp that is No Bloody Good

 

This should be the first Stop for anyone who is starting with the idea of stamp collecting - put the link up top so newcomers could be referred to this necessary infomation.

 

Real nice site, Steve. Thanks for sharing.

 

wow! I really need this. thanks a lot...

 

Just visited the link now and find it useful.
Thanks for the link Steve.

 

Maybe it is because it is still a good reference to colour, paper thickness, size, and perfs and cancel if it has.

 

Wow, thanks a lot Steve!

I am fairly new to the whole collecting scene and this has absolutely taught me things I didn't know before!

Once again, thanks

 

Glad it could be of use

 

Maybe I am missing something... but the link goes to some company's "TERMS of sale." Maybe the original page has been moved?

Same here, I cannot access the original page...

 

Maybe we members could make a list between us and put it somewhere in the introductions.
You know like a team work project (such fun).

 

does it include timbrology?

 

That includes wooden and metal used to impress wax and leather.

 

No idea what happened to the original page so have posted a new one

 

My personal favourite is, 'nibbled'.

 

Yeah, I was exactly in the same situation that I already thought I stamp collecting is as simple as putting stamps to a scrapbook. I never knew that there is much more deeper element into it. Now this makes it all the more exciting for me.
