Naomi and I are opening this thread for swaps with other collectors. We will offer Lots and I will use my magic mod powers to keep the Lots updated as to availability. In some cases (for example, mint minisheets), there will be more than 1 available and that will be indicated. Multiple means more than 3 available.
I have caught the topical collecting bug from Naomi, and I hope there is enough variety in what we are interested in that we will be able to do lots of swapping.
What we offer
We will offer mint Lots (primarily minisheets but some stamp sets as well) and used Lots. For the used Lots we would prefer to swap the whole Lot and we will accept whole Lots in exchange if we need a reasonable number of the stamps being offered. If you would like to exchange scans for stamp selection, please indicate that in the thread and we can follow up by email.
What we would like in exchange
Here is a list of what we are looking for, and I will update this as needed.
Fauna, including animals, birds, marine life, insects - Naomi prefers postally used stamps (no CTO) but will also swap for mint minisheets or sometimes complete mint sets (at her discretion)
Naomi is particularly interested in WWF issues.
**Update Oct 1, 2016 - Naomi has started high school and is feeling the pinch with homework, so she will be curtailing her stamp activities for now.
For the time being, I would like to mainly swap for my own collections as listed below. For the following topics, I am primarily interested in mint sets/minisheets but will also swap for postally used stamps
Eclipse (solar or lunar)
Zodiac signs - astrological or Lunar New Year - astronomical clocks
Orchids
Musical instruments
Art (mainly paintings, sculpture)
Braille (stamps on the topic of Braille or stamps with Braille dots)
Gastronomy/cuisine
Photographic space images
Aurora (borealis or australis)
Weather/meteorology **NEW**
Alphabets/numbers **NEW**
Interesting or old maps **NEW**
For the following, I'm looking for postally used stamps (Please click on the country name to see my wishlists in Colnect):
Australia International Post
Germany
Israel
Singapore
Taiwan
Japan
Canada
I also collect used Europa (CEPT) stamps, and I will accept CTO for these as some countries are impossible to find postally used. The ones I need are mainly from the last few years.
Also if you have anything whimsical or unusual to offer that is not on the list, please try us!
If you are interested in any of the offered Lots, please post in this thread and also post pictures of what you would like to offer in exchange. I hope that everyone will enjoy seeing pictures of what is being exchanged.
**Priority will be given to posts in thread. Even if you would like to exchange scans, please post in thread what you are interested in so that I can reserve it for you.
We do not necessarily need to exchange like for like: we are quite happy to swap a mint minisheet for a Lot of used stamps, for example.
If you see something you like that is not currently available, let me know and I may be able to find it at a stamp show.
To be eligible for swapping in this thread, you must have been a Stampboards member for 90 days and have at least 90 posts.
Let's swap!
Jean and Naomi
