Hi! I'm just seeing your answer today! Oups! You'd think I'd get a notification! Anyways, I debated between 3 and 4. Wasn't really sure how hard I should be but you're right, I can't use most of these stamps towards future exchanges; I don't even care to keep them. I understand that there is a learning curve but this member has been active longer than me. Probably taking advantage of me being newer. I myself have quickly learned that members are not interested in my thousands of older and commons Canadian and US commemorative stamps and therefore, switched to world stamps (that I get mostly through bulk purchases or other good exchanges). Thanks for your input! Nathalie
