I collect stamps, philatelic products, phonecards, coins, tokens, and banknotes.
Except for coins, I'm interested in what's on my Wish list only.
I am open to cross-trading between different categories.
Stamps
I prefer trading by catalog value. It works out to be fairer. I have also had successful, fair 1:1 swaps.
I use the Stamp - World catalog because it's free and available to all. If you have another preference, let me know. I'm flexible.
I have stopped soaking self-adhesives. Too many in the trash.
Countries:
Israel: I collect MNH with tabs ONLY.
Nordic Countries (including Estonia): I collect USED ONLY. (unless indicated)
Other countries: I accept any condition unless indicated.
Variants
My policy on variants is based on what I can see:
o If more than one variant of a stamp is on my wishlist, please check with me. In many cases, I only want one of them.
o I don't look for paper variants for my collection. If phosphor tagging is easily seen (as is the case on most Israeli tagged stamps), I identify it for swapping, but not for my collection.
o I don't look for minor color variants (can someone explain the difference between "olive green" and "greenish olive"?). If you're looking for minor color variations, I can scan the stamps for you, and you can tell me if they're what you're looking for.
o If watermarks are identifiable with the naked eye, I identify them (even for my collection). Otherwise, I guess.
o I look for perforation differences. I have an old perforation gauge that works by half perf. increments. Quarter increments are too fine for me.
o I look for the difference between regular and self-adhesive stamps. If you're going to send me something, and you're not sure, send me a scan, and I'll tell you if it's what I want.
I try to identify damaged stamps that I list. I list them with indication that they're damaged. I may miss some minor faults, but I try to be meticulous.
Please don't send me damaged stamps without asking me if I'm interested, and please don't expect full catalog value for them.
Phonecards
I exchange 1:1. I don't know of a reliable valuation system for phonecards.
I'm not interested in minor variants. If more than one variant of a card is on my wishlist, please check with me. In most cases, I only want one of them.
If you are interested in minor variations of Israeli cards (such as control numbers), I would be happy to help you.
If a card is damaged, I indicate it, and what the damage is.
Please don't send me damaged cards without asking me if I'm interested.
Coins
My Wish list indicates my wishes for Israel and my Themes.
Otherwise, I'm interested in any coins I don't have, which is most of what's out there.
If you are interested in specific years of Israeli coins, I can probably help you out even if I don't have them listed. Especially for currently circulated Israeli coins.
I can exchange by catalog value (I use Numista). I am also open to an exchange of (10-20) different low-value coins that you select to send me, for the same number of different low-value coins that I select to send to you. Mine will likely be all or mostly Israeli.
Banknotes & Tokens
I am interested in Israel and my themes. My Wish list is up to date. Please do not offer me other banknotes or tokens. I prefer catalog value. I use Numista.
