My name is Michael and I live in Leipzig.
A city in eastern Germany, state of Saxony.
I've been retired since early 2023. Now I have time for my hobbies
I am a passionate stamp collector.
I've been collecting stamps since the 1970s. Stamps are small works of art for me, fascinating and inspiring. For me, stamps have always been the gateway to the wide world.
I like animal motifs, plant motifs, landscape motifs and motifs with a social statement of the respective country. (Does not like sports motifs)
I collect everything philatelic. (Stamps, FDC, old envelopes with special cancellation)
I also love maximum cards (cards with a stamp on the front and a special cancellation).
I like all stamps, both recent and older, the older the better.
I have a vision: I would like to own at least one postage stamp from every country and former territory in the world. You can help me!
Stamps I'm particularly looking for: (I don't have a stamp from these countries yet)
