I try to be fair and generous when swapping. I feel recent issues are much harder to get than those of 1980's, 1900's and early 2000's. Please, when making swap lists, try to balance your wishes with recent issues and older issues. Recent Dutch stamps (& probably in other countries too) are quite rare and in big demand and are under-valued in stamp catalogs. Therefor i some cases i only exchange recent issues for recent issues or other better issues.

I collect stamps from my own country (The Netherlands) and worldwide used sport stamps. I do prefer swapping 1:1 when balanced and reasonable. For more valuing stamps i exchange by catalog value. I use Michel online.

Please take also a look at the First Day Covers which i have for exchange.

My priority to exchange is:

1. Netherland - used
2. European sportstamps - used
3. American sportstamps - used
4. Australian, China and Japan sportstamps - used
5. Other sportstamps - used

Very important:

If there is no condition mentioned for a stamp, then it is a used stamp
I prefer not to split up complete sets - mint or used
I prefer to exchange whole issues instead of single stamps
If possible, prefer to exchange recent issues for recent issues
I prefer regular post and don’t send registered letters
