Greetings!


My Interests (at least regarding my ebay presence)

My primary hobby is philately, better known to the general public as "stamp collecting." I also collect some coins as well. I do not claim to be a "numismatist," but coins can make an interesting historical contrast, and sometimes tie in quite closely with stamps and postal history. I'm a long-time APS (American Philatelic Society) member, and member of several specialist societies.

My philatelic interests are global stamps. I collect all countries to some degree, and up to some time cut-off, such as 1970 for many - but I'm enough of a Globalist to learn history, geography, cultures, etc., on each and every stamp-issuing entity. Occasional infringements past the 1970 dateline are made for continuity of issues and certain collecting interests. I have more specialized collections from a number of countries - US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Bahamas, Austria, Hungary, Iran, Sudan, China, to name a few.

The ultimate goal is to learn a little something about each and every stamp-issuing entity on the globe since about 1840, as well as more detailed knowledge wherever time permits, and desire to learn leads me.

I also do work designing & developing client/server database applications using Microsoft Visual Studio, particularly Visual FoxPro, VBA, .NET, and I do computer and network hardware and software support. I'm a Statistician by profession (at least this is where my primary university degrees were earned).

For those of us who appreciate completeness, I now have complete stamp collections from 14 countries: Aden, Allenstein, Ascension, Baden, Barbuda, Hatay, Inini, Ionian Islands, Karelia, Kionga, Mayotte, Prussia, Saseno, and White Russia. All right, so I picked on some easy ones :-) Closing in on some others, check back for updates.
