Hello and Welcome to gradedstamps.com
I started collecting stamps at age 10, following my father's example. Quite typically, I drifted away from the collection at about age 14, then gained renewed interest again in my mid-thirties.
I began buying larger lots to obtain stamps I needed for my collection, and quickly discovered that I could retain wanted items and re-sell the balance to recover my cost. It was a good approach to aid in building my collection, but also stimulated my interest in becoming a stamp dealer.
My primary interest has always been United States from #1 to Back of the Book. I also became interested in Printing Errors and Freaks when I purchased a drastically miscut booklet at the Post Office at age 10 or 11. (I still have this item!) My business has evolved over the last 25 years and I now make my living as a Full-time stamp dealer.
As I gained experience, I refined my focus to Premium Quality stamps. I will always maintain an interest in EFO's, since I find them as interesting today, as I did 45 years ago when I found my first one! I am currently a member in good standing of: American Stamp Dealers Association, American Philatelic Society, Classics Society, Florida Stamp Dealers Association and others..
I would be pleased to make your introduction and please don't hesitate to allow me to help you build your collection.
