POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTING Self-adhesive stamps can be peeled off the backing-paper and affixed to envelopes with ease, saving the consumer from moistening or licking the gum on the back of the postage stamp. This is a great idea for postal consumers, but it is a very bad idea for stamp collectors. Self-adhesive postage stamps have been around for almost a quarter ofa
RETAIL STAMP DEALERS Retail Stamp Dealers. Buying stamps from retail stamp dealers is a little more expensive than buying from Internet or public auctions, but, in many instances, it is the best method of acquiring stamps for both the serious collector and the philatelist. Retail dealers have a lot of overhead, such as computer and scanning equipment, stock books DOMINION OF CANADA STAMPS The ten Large Queen Canada stamps shown above were issued beginning in 1868.. These Canada stamps are engraved, perforated in various gauges, with 12 and 11 1/2 x 12 being the most common, and most of them were printed on unwatermarked paper. The first printings of these stamps were printed on thin paper. Later printings were printed on thickerpaper.
POSTAGE STAMP VALUES Retailers usually sell stamps at a substantial discount from the "catalog" price - sometimes 50% or more. As a result, dealers pay a percentage of their "retail" price of the stamp, to allow them to make a profit, thus the actual price you could sell the stamp to a retailer for would be a percentage of the retail value, not the catalog value. CANADA AIR MAIL STAMPS The 5 C. denomination air mail stamp (Scott #C1) shown above, at the left, was issued on September 21, 1928. The design features an allegory of flight, being a monoplane above two victories pointing to the map of Canada on the globe below them. These stamps were first used on September 22, 1928 for the inauguration of the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal-Rimouski air mail service.US REVENUE STAMPS

STAMP-COLLECTING-WORLD PHILATELIC AND STAMP COLLECTING INFORMATION DATABASE _(CREATED BY: DAVID AESCHLIMAN)_
The purpose of this STAMP COLLECTING website is to provide general information for visitors that may be interested in collecting stamps and to provide the specialized information needs of more advanced stamp collectors and philatelists. Postage stamps not only represent the development of letter mail systems over the last two centuries, but they also reflect the full range of history, art, and culture, from the beginnings of our global civilization. It is my love of history, as well as my love of philately, that drove me to collect stamps _(about 60 years ago)_ and to create this website _(almost 10 years ago)_. GREAT BRITAIN STAMPS The focus of most of the collecting categories in this website is the _CLASSICAL_ _(1840-1900)_ and _EARLY MODERN_ _(1901 TO ABOUT 1935)_ philately of _EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA_. In the beginning, I had envisioned a worldwide philatelic site, but it quickly became evident that composing and maintaining a site of that scope, for all the countries that have existed since 1840, was far beyond the capabilities of a single person. After almost 10 years of development and about 960 content pages, the website COLLECTING section includes just about every stamp-issuing country in Europe and North America. In the very near future, I will be able to move into the improvement and maintenance phase. That is, being able to begin revising and improving the text content of some of the older categories and being able to start adding new INFORMATION and COLLECTING page content to the existing website categories, something that I've wanted to do for a long time. Please check back often, to see if new text content has been added, or subscribe to the site RSS Feed, for notification about ongoing changes. The take-out box below is also updated regularly. It features news about recent website additions and changes.SUMMER 2019

PORTUGAL Category - Added seven new content pages for _DEFINITIVES OF 1892-1893_, _DEFINITIVES OF 1895-1911__,__ DEFINITIVES OF 1912-1926_, _DEFINITIVES OF 1926-1931_, _COMMEMORATIVES OF 1894-1911_, _COMMEMORATIVES OF 1923-1925_, and _COMMEMORATIVES OF 1926-1928_. _Last website update: 01 AUG 2019_ In writing content for the various stamp COLLECTING categories, I have had to do quite a bit of research. _ Google search and Wikipedia have become my best friends during this effort!_ In searching many philatelic websites for information, I have found it very frustrating that all I seem to locate are retail websites that are primarily interested in selling stamps or philatelic products. Many of the websites containing educational or technical information about collecting stamps require the visitor to register and provide personal information, which can eventually wind-up in the hands of commercial email, commercial letter mail, or telemarketing advertisers. In some cases, these philatelic websites even require the payment of a subscription fee, which could place the casual visitor's financial information at-risk! _It would seem that restricting the access to important information for visitors with a casual interest in stamp collecting would tend to frustrate them and to drive them away from the hobby, rather than to attract them to the hobby._ UNITED STATES STAMPS EDUCATION COMES FIRST, and access to educational information should be FREE. Someone without a substantial knowledge-base in stamp collecting is probably not going to be "buying" anything from a retail site, especially the more expensive stamps. For the buyer that doesn't have sufficient knowledge about the nature of the material they are purchasing, doing so can be dangerous and very disappointingin the long run!
The button-bar section, at the left, contains important information about the various aspects of stamp collecting. The INFORMATION section category pages feature content about _collecting stamps_, _using the proper tools for handling and identifying stamps_, _stamp albums_, _philatelic catalogs_, _buying stamps_, and _selling stamps_. The COLLECTING section category pages feature _historical articles_ and technical reviews of all the _classical and early modern stamps issued_ by each of the countries. _IF THE VISITOR SHOULD FIND THE CONTENT OF THIS STAMP COLLECTING WEBSITE USEFUL AND KNOW A FELLOW COLLECTOR, OR SOMEONE THAT MAY BE A POTENTIAL COLLECTOR, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE SITE._ PORTUGAL "CERES" STAMPS _The images on this home page will be changed periodically. Most of the images pertain to the website collecting sections that feature those particular stamps or similar stamp issues._
OTHER NOTIFICATIONS
THIS WEBSITE DOES NOT BUY, SELL, OR APPRAISE STAMPS OR STAMPCOLLECTIONS.
_There are guidelines for both BUYING and SELLING stamps, through other business resources, that visitors can follow, which are located in the __INFORMATION section of the navigation bar at the left. It is strongly recommended that collectors sell their collections through local dealers or auction houses. Mailing collections, especially internationally, is very expensive and very dangerous. Such collections could be damaged or lost in the mail, and the overseas shipping costs can be more than the wholesale value of the stampsbeing shipped.
In most cases, it is impossible to evaluate the authenticity or condition of a stamp from a scanned image, so sending scans of collection items is not useful in this respect.__
The _STAMP IMAGES_ shown within the __COLLECTING categories of the navigation bar are there for illustration purposes. Those images are either from my own collection or from other internet resources, and those stamps are not for sale._
Many of the _COLLECTING_ sections also have links to AFFILIATED EBAY SELLER LISTINGS located near the bottom of the content section, which will enable visitors to shop for and to buy specific items for the particular collecting subject they've just read about. Some other sections will feature outgoing links to affiliated sellers and product manufacturers for stamp collecting books and supplies. The links to affiliated eBay seller auction lots in this site, provided by eBay, Inc., and other outgoing links to commercial retailers are not the responsibility of the management of thiswebsite.
