Which country do you got the most stamps from?

Most of my stamps are Hungarian (Magyar Posta). As Hungary is somehow in the vincinity with the city I live in, stamp shops around the city mostly have Hungarian stamps (which is a kind of sad fact).

But what about you?

 

For me it would be stamps from Canada. While I have a good number of stamps from other countries, living in Canada makes it easier to collect Canadian stamps.

A better question might be what country in which you do not live do you have the most stamps from? For me, I think that would be Great Britain.

 

Most of my stamps are Philippines stamps.

 

I have more austrian, belgian and french stamp. Most of these came from kiloware.

 

Yup, I agree with you, my bad. Well, I sadly haven't got any GB stamps yet. I'm looking forward to buying some.

 

US followed by Canada ( I guess ).

 

I have been traveling to Taiwan for a while now. So, I get lots of Taiwanese and Chinese stamps. The Chinese characters on them are fascinating.

 

Nice, looking forward to see some of those Taiwanese stamps around.

 

My collection is mostly from Holland, 'cause that's where I live

 

As of right now, all of my stamps are from here in the United States of America. I would really love to expand my collection and get some from other countries, but I haven't been collecting for very long.

 

I have no idea never looked at my collections like that before LOL I think it would have to be either GB (my home country) Germany or France

 

Even though I only collect G.B. for years 1840 to 1903, it is still the country I have the most stamps from, inasmuch as I collect all the colour varieties and plate numbers. I also collect early Brtish stamps used abroad known by their cancels, and numbered MC cancels.

I also have a fair stock of post 1903 stamps of G.B. that I am willing to swap or sell at low prices.

 

I am slowly trying to reorganize all my collections so I actually have some idea of what I have LOL

 

While some may call me"elitist", I think those who collect all the world are not collectors but accumulators. I myself collect 3 wide areas: G.B. and British Empire to 1903, U.S. and U.S. Possessions to 1939, and Canada and Provinces to 1939. What I did some years back is to make 2 lists in my computer. The first is in Excel where I use a line for each entry. The entry includes the catalog number, the condition and the catalog value. I started the second list by ticking off in the catal0g all the stamps in my collection, and then listing all those I didn't tick off for the countries I collect in the time period collected. As I acquire new additions to my collection I cross the item off my lists. That way I don't waste money on buying or swapping for duplicates, and always have a handle on my collection.

 

I had all mine (mostly) scanned and listed but lost everything when my puter died was not able to recover more than a fraction of the info, I had begun to back stuff up but not enough :-(

 

We had something similar happen to us. So I know where you're coming from. After that Allan bought a program that downloads the entire hard drive before you can shut the computer down. So no worries that'll happen again.

Checked Allan's mail today. He got 2 used G.B. stamps that might be of interest to you.
Scott #55 cv 180.00; and #109 cv 500.00. He's letting them go cheap if you're interested.

 

I would love them but doubt very much If I could afford them

 

Hi Steve,
Checked with Allan. He wants US$45.00 for the #55, and $150.00 for the #109. Is either or both within your stamp budget?
