The Daily Stamp News:

This is the start of my blog. It is about m
y collection, general topics of interest regarding the collecting and expanding of the collection and posts of buying, selling, kiloware and all sorts of things including why they aren't more countries from Asia or anywhere else except Europe in kiloware? To start off, a description of my collection.

I have exactly 34 stockbooks worth of stamps having re
cently acquired 5 more stockbooks for the recent kiloware I have purchased. They are divided by region, namely Europe, North America, South America, Central America, Middle East, Central Asia, Asia, Africa and Oceania. The largest of these as you can imagine is Europe with 11 Stockbooks to its name, The Americas (North, South, Central) with 9, Asia with 5, Africa with 4, Middle East/Central Asia with 3 and last but not least Oceania with 2.

As you can see here, this is the unsorted parts that I'll have to work on. I already see a large amount of Europe in there, which I'm hoping won't be the case. Other than that, I have a large number of stamps on paper which I will have to soak and remove as well as a recently sorted bag of Kiloware that I have to put into stockbooks. All this work....

Besides the physical sorting, there are also counts and various mathematical equations that I am in the process of making so that I have a very accurate count of the countries I have and the regional breakdowns as well.

So far, I have a ton of work. But I'll get through it, hopefully, without all my time being taken up...That's all for now, keep in touch for the next post hopefully on Kiloware if nothing else is important.

However, I do have a request before I leave. If you have stamps lying around the house, a collection you don't want or mail coming into your house with stamps, then let me know and ring (or email, text, IM, PM, whatever) me up. As a collector I'm duty bound to announce this message.
