Award Winning Collection
- 24 Scott Volumes with Stamps. Too many to count!!!!!
- Many of the following are in this collection:
- Revenue stamps
- Postage due stamps/labels
- Federal Duck stamps (stamps for duck hunting licenses, mainly U.S. with some other countries such as Canada and New Zealand)
- First
day covers - (FDCs) - envelopes with stamps attached and canceled on
the first day that the stamp was issued. Most modern FDCs bear designs,
called "cachets" related to the theme of the stamp issued.
- PHQ
Cards, these cards are pictorial postcards, issued by the British Post
Office {Royal Mail}, each card shows an enlarged colour reproduction of
a commemorative stamp.
- First Day Ceremony Programs - these are
folders or brochures given out to attendees of the First Day Ceremonies
of postage stamps, with historical information on the stamp, a list of
speakers, and an attached stamp, canceled on the First Day of Issue.
Collectors of "FDCPs" generally prefer their programs autographed by
those who spoke at the ceremony.
- Topical - many collectors
choose to organize their philatelic collection on the theme of the
stamps, covers, or postmarks. Popular topical themes are [[animals,
dogs, cats, butterflies, birds, flowers, art, sports, Olympics, maps,
Disney, scouting, space, ships, Americana (topics relating to the US),
stamps on stamps, famous people, chess, Chinese new year, and many
others.
- souvenir pages - with first day cancelled stamps on a
page describing all design, printing and issuing details. This is
similar to first day covers except that it is done on a printed sheet
of paper instead of an envelope, and the specification of the stamp is
printed by the official source. See picture of first souvenir page in
the US.
