Countries I've Completed Recently

1/15/2024

I've had a few successes recently.

First- I found the single stamp that I needed to complete Tete, Scott #34.  I use the "Want List" feature on HipStamp, and list stamps for countries where I am close to completion.  With this feature, once the stamp is listed, HipStamp will then show the number of listings that exist for that stamp.  Now, the "Want List" is not perfect-- often instead of showing a single stamp, clicking on the "Items for Sale" button will result in displaying sets that the seller has to offer.  But after looking for over a year for Tete #34, there was one listed on HipStamp.

Next, while my wife and I were on vacation this past week in the Scottsdale, AZ area, I had the opportunity to visit the office of Michael and Cecilia Ball (A to Z Stamps) in Tempe.  A to Z’s main stock room, was somewhere between 15-20 feet long, and the long wall was covered in red boxes from floor to ceiling!  I could have literally spent several days in that room, but I only had a couple of hours, so I looked specifically for a few countries where I needed either 1 or 2 stamps to complete.  And I was able to find the stamps to complete: 

• Antigua
• France- Offices in Levant (Cavalle)
• French Congo
• Grand Comoro
• Horta
• Jamaica
• Mesopotamia

Status of My Big Blue, 11/29/2023

 Since I finished a really difficult country today, I thought that this would be a good time to publish the status of my BB today.  I've expanded my list by dividing many of the countries into the types of stamps.  To explain why I do this, take for example, Austria.  Counting all regular postal issues, Airmail, Semi-postal and other back of the book issues, there are 767 possible holes to fill.  I think this number is misleading a bit, when one takes into account that I have 300 of the possible 300 postal issues.  The rest is all back of the book.  This also helps me to see at a glance where I need to concentrate, if I have expanded the country.

I completed Aguera (a/k/a La Aguera) today, one of the Spanish Colonies.  I've needed just Scott #20 for the longest time, and a friend at our local stamp club had a copy for me on Monday night.  The Spanish Colonies are probably the most difficult stamps to find in completing the Big Blue.  I now have completed 2 of them:  Aguera and Fernando Po, and I need one more stamp to complete Rio de Oro.
