Well hello everyone well I never saw this coming late in my thirties nothing else better to do kids are out of the house I'm bored so out of one crazy day I was at the thrift store and bought two. cases with. very old stamps I didn't care for the value of them rather much what they're worth I paid a little attention to him one day I decided to look a couple up to my surprise I have learned so much old Rich history that I had no idea about and I'm a WW2 history nut and ethnic background born American polish Jewish, grandpa's and Grandma's born in concentration camps and when I came across polish stamps I was shocked to learn so much more history that I had no idea about rather much my grandparents that did not speak English they couldn't even tell me the vast Rich history of that country I think I found my third Hobby. .

    Hi,Poland is a great country to collect as it is not too expensive as apart from one very old one they only produced from 1918 on.Heritage is also important,especially for the kids with the advent of Wikipedia the knowledge is there.I am Scottish & I discovered a relative who was an explorer in Africa & another who went to China in the 1800's & then traveled to Korea & never returned,I could have a lot of relations there as my last name is Park.lol !!!!!!!!!.
