I have been collecting stamps, covers and philatelic literature for the past fifty years non-stop. As one might imagine, I have accumulated a tremendous hoard of US and Worldwide material over those years. Now I'm retired. My collecting interests have become refined and eBay has come along. My wife suggested I might begin to clear out the items I don't need or want for my collection by selling them on eBay. Her pitch to me was the proceeds from this activity would generate funds for the aquisiton of new items I want and don't have now. I suspect the hundred packing cartons full of stamps and philatelic books occupying our spare bedroom (for the last decade) may be the real reason for her interest. My goal is to list interesting  items every day until it's all gone. I estimate this endeavor will take about twenty years! Check out my listings often to see if there is anything you might like. Most of it will be pre-1940. I am also available to answer your philatelic questions. Don't hesitate! I can usually give or get you the accurate information you seek quickly. Happy collecting! Dan
