Description:

I ran a similar swap in the Postage Stamps Crazy Collectors group and was asked to run it in public swaps too. To make it a bit easier to join I have split the stamps into several swaps running at the same time which are listed below. Join just one or all of them!

Okay the plan is this:

I need only one player per country.

List your country below when you sign up.

Every person that signs up will be your partner - whether it be 2 or 20 (I will edit the number of partners to reflect the number in the swap at the end). Then you send each person in the swap 10 stamps from your country that feature festivals such as christmas. Not sure what fits the category? If it is listed elsewhere (eg art works) then do not send them here or contact me.

Usual rules -

  1. Stamps can be mint or used, on paper or soaked off.

  2. No damaged stamps

  3. Obviously you can send the same stamps to each partner but no duplicates within each pack.

  4. Try to include as many commemorative stamps as possible.

  5. Enjoy and remember because the swaps are running simultaneously the more of these swaps you join the cheaper the postage!

The swaps in the series are: animals, flowers, birds, insects and reptiles, landscapes and art works, sport and heads, festivals.

This is not profile based so you can start sorting your stamps into groups of 10 straight away!

You send 10 stamps to everyone who signs up? Geez, if 100 people signed up, then you'd have to send 1,000 stamps out???

Do Americans even have ten stamps that feature holidays? There's a few every year for Christmas, and maybe one for Hanukah and one for Eid, but that's pretty much it. It's a crying shame that we don't have a Halloween stamp every year.
