I had one main goal for 2024 when it came to my stamp collection. Get my hands on a Penny Black. With less than 2 months to go in the year, I accomplished my goal! #philately #digitalphilately #stamps #stampcollecting #stamp #stamping #stampcollection

My latest acquisition! When I saw this, I couldn’t pass it up. With it dated 2 days following the House and the Senate finding Reagan to be solely responsible for the Iran Contra Affair, one can only presume this thank you note pertains to a letter of support in response. #philately

When you’re looking for a US 213 on cover and find a lot of 4 for the price of one, it’s an instant buy. Works out perfectly, as I could give my dad one and I still have a couple for trading.

This beautiful FDC from 1986 is a wonderful addition to my Statue of Liberty collection. The cache just screamed, “Buy me now!” When I saw it.

I was able to pick this little lot of four US revenues for a song recently. Always satisfying seeing my little collection of tax stamps grow!

United Nations Vienna 1996. Scott no. 210. 50th Anniversary of UNICEF. When you find a mint sheet of UN stamps like this for $1 and you’re a UN collector, it’s an instant-buy!

While these USSR 4665-4668 from 1978 are CTOs, I still had to get them for the space collection. They were just too cool to pass up!

US 1954 Scot no. 1035 FDC. I love the Statue of Liberty, 1954 liberty stamps, and Benjamin Franklin. This FDC ticked all of my boxes for an instant buy.

1981 Swedish Aerogram to New Haven, CT. I have recently discovered a love for the Aerogram. They combine so many of my loves in philately. My only regret is that I didn’t start collecting them sooner!

I was able to upgrade my U.S. 629, Battle of White Plains issue to MNH and I couldn’t be happier. As you can see, the centering is a bit off, but it’s still a nice issue.

A stampless, folded letter from 1855. I have been just staring at this little piece of bank correspondence from the mid 1800s for the longest time. Things like this just compound my love of philately!

My first Bulgarian cover! There’s no way I could pass up this beautiful, though heavily worn, 1926 registered mail cover to New York.

Denmark 1863 Scott no. 9 It’s just a place holder with the very rough rouletting, but it will serve its purpose wonderfully until an upgrade can be obtained.

Another interesting, recent addition to my Sweden covers collection. I can’t help but wonder what was inside…

I’ve been hard at work on my Bavaria collection as of late, and this Scott no 54 from 1900 has been a particular favorite of the recent additions.

A meter slogan from Sweden to Chicago, sent in 1947. As anyone who knows me, knows, I’m ALWAYS looking for new and interesting Sweden covers, and this perfectly fits the bill!

Though VERY rough, I could not pass up this US 206 on cover from 1885. I needed one for my collection, the price was right, and I dearly love this stamp. So to me, it’s perfect!

Zip Block Alert! With my fascination with Mr. Zip, I felt it was high time to begin collecting Zip Blocks and this US 1483a is the start to my latest collection.
