And a word about stamps..

I collect used US to 1977. Why US? Well, I do live in the United States! Why used? Mint stamps are for using, museums, and dandies. Why 1977? That's where the second volume of the Scott National Album stops. I can't afford the subsequent pages, so there you go. Besides, the USPS in the 1990s and 2000s issued so many stamps I could probably never afford them all, even used. Maybe I can get this 1847-1977 collection as complete as possible..on a limited budget, of course!
