Stampede

This is Stampede, the Stamp Collecting Wiki! This is a place for wikians to explore their passion for studying and/or collecting postage stamps! Features will include users having their own virtual stamp album, creation of "cinderella" stamps for laughs, sharing knowledge and techniques, hosting blank album pages, etc.

When you collect stamps, one is also collecting history, so from time to time there will be a historical article, illustrated by the stamp or stamps that capture the essence of that point in history. For instance, during the Vietnam war, East Germany had a semi-postal (or charity) stamp that was designed to raise money for the communist fighters in that war. Not a lot of people know that. But that's the whole point of a wiki, to distribute knowledge.

Please be patient while I get this started. It's going to take time for this to get up and running. But one of my passions is stamp collecting, so I'm confident this will be successful.

Perhaps you'll agree with me.
