Collector Profile MasyaS

Wishing everybody a happy festive season. In the new year, I'll be doing a big update/springclean of my lists, and look forward to new swaps once done (Mar-26?).

Welcome!

I collect stamps of culturally and economically significant countries with a preference for stamps from the 2nd half of the 20th C. Where applicable my country collections include the pictorial definitives of their former colonies and or associated states. Additionally I am developing a thematic side-collection centered around fish and fisheries.

All stamps on my swap list are available on a 1:1 basis for stamps of roughly comparable rarity/value included in my wish list. I am open to alternative arrangements, but expect that a swap is properly agreed prior to sending out any stamps. For complete sets I expect you to take the full set as marked in the notes.

I send scans of all stamps for approval prior to exchange, and do not accept damaged/heavily cancelled or CTO stamps unless by prior agreement. Defects/ heavy or CTO cancels are marked in my swap list, as well as whether a stamp is available only as part of a set.

The many varieties of some stamps can trip me up when recording my stock in the catalog. If you are particular about getting a specific variety, then please check beforehand.
