Foreword

Being a stamp collector, I surf the web looking for stamp collecting sites. To my disappointment, I have observed, most of the stamp collecting sites on the web are commercial sites. Of course, I have seen a few home pages that attempt to discuss stamp collecting without talking about the dollar value of stamps, but then again those home pages generally have not much to say about stamps. Their emphasis is on the unusual  background music, scrolling text, animated GIF's, lot of banners etc. on their pages. I, therefore, decided to put together a site by myself which will attempt to discuss stamp collecting purely as a hobby without the distraction of animated GIF's, banners and background music. This being my first attempt to publish a website in English, I know it will be far from perfect. But, at least, it is a beginning. I shall try to improve on it in the future. Your words of encouragement and constructive criticism will help. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. 

About Me

I have been collecting postage stamps since 1950's. I do it for fun, for pleasure. It is just a hobby. I do not collect stamps for profit. I do not look at it as a business. Unfortunately my job didn’t allow me in the last ten years to spend enough time with my hobby, but now I have the time for this activities especially during wintertime or rainy days. In fine whether I prefer gardening or lying in the sun!.

I am a European stamps collector. I do not concentrate on any particular country or any particular theme. I collect stamps of all European countries. I have thousands upon thousands of stamps. I collect new and used stamps. But the last 20 years my missing lists from nearly all countries are enormous. So I try to get these stamps by exchanging because I have lots of German stamps.

 What I can offer

At my German pages you can find many "Have-Lists" from the stamps I have twice or more - but this stamps are listed by numbers of the German "Michel-Katalog". If you do not have this catalogue you can not use this lists. Then during the years it became too much work to actualize this lists and most of them are not up to date. So I start my English activities with the stamps of BERLIN from which I have really more than enough. I made a catalogue where you can look for the number of each stamp. I can offer all stamps from Berlin from 1954 to 1990 and most of the older ones too as ** and O. (** = mint never hinged, * = mint, O = used). Then I can offer too nearly all other German stamps from old to new. New German ** stamps in EURO value I will exchange only to mint recent stamps from other countries in face-value. If you have a Michel-Katalog you can navigate at my German lists. Some words translated: Fehlliste = Missing-list, Tauschliste = Have-list.
