This site is intended not for fools, but for people who are,
in the nicest sense of the word, ignorant about stamps. Whether
this is because the hobby is new to you, or you are not a
collector at all but just need some information or explanation.
Don't be insulted !
Even experienced collectors have gaps in their knowledge, and
this is becoming the case more as larger numbers of collectors
specialise in narrower areas.
The whole site is intended to inform and explain. It is meant to be easy to follow, but there is no intention of over-simplification.
We are open to suggestion. If there is something you would
like to know about, suggest
it
to us. We promise nothing, but will certainly give any
proposals some consideration.
