Collector Profile Peter Handson [hando45]

Hello, I am a 70 Year old Australian and have collected stamps since a child. I have recently returned to stamp collecting after retiring and am slowly sorting out all the stamps I have and updating my lists on colnect. I have a large number of used Australian stamps to swap. The stamps range from early pre-decimal to current year. (note: many recent stamps are self adhesive.)

Regarding self adhesive stamps I have given up trying to remove them from the paper, particularly Australian ones that have security cuts in 4 corners and are virtually impossible to remove without damage. So I add them to my collection with paper still attached and will send them this way in exchanges. Of course I am happy to receive them with paper as well.

I am interested in used stamps from most countries and will consider any requests from other collectors.

I am building a collection of German stamps for my grandson (now 9) who lives in Germany so would appreciate any offers of German stamps from my wish list.

I also want to swap bulk lots of Australian stamps, for example 200 different Australian of my choice for 200 different stamps of your choice.

Please note I do not post by registered mail as the cost is excessive.

Message me if you are interested in seeing if we can arrange a suitable swap.
