Hi there stamp collectors!

If anyone...

* Is just starting to collect stamps
* Returning to the hobby
* Interested in getting a child / relative interested
* Involved in a stamp club / scouts / other group

....would like to receive either 100+ Worldwide stamps or 100+ U.S.
stamps FREE - please write me a short note and I'll be happy to send
some to you.

Send a post card, a letter, birch bark, papyrus - whatever! These are
duplicate stamps from my collection and generous donations from other
stamp collectors who want to help out new collectors.

NO CHARGE FOR THE STAMPS, POSTAGE OR ANYTHING SENT TO YOU.


--- Please Read ---

1) No specific countries or topics, please! Either U.S. or WW only.
I've received requests for specific countries and I can't fill them.
If I did, I'd have to charge for some time involved.

2) One request per person. I'll be checking your letters against
those already received.

3) No E-Mail requests / status requests / harassments. No need to
follow up and ask when they'll be sent - they will be. Building
packets does take some time and since it's my time... EVERY letter
is responded to eventually.

4) I'd like to see a request through the mail. If you can't seem to
do that, please don't ask. I may follow up by E-Mail (if you send
your E-Mail address) to let you know they were sent. Please include
your return mailing address! I've seen a few without addresses.

Optional - You can include your age if you'd like to. This
information is only used to see what age group is being sent stamps.

The correspondence between us stays between us and nobody will ever
get your snail mail or E-Mail address - for any purpose. I will never
solicit anyone who sends in a request - for any reason. Collecting
stamps is supposed to be fun!

Included with the stamps is a short article on how to soak stamps.
This is a short version, but it will get you thinking on how to do it.
An enhanced "Basics for Beginners", page length article, by another
rcsd follower Bob Ingraham, will be printed on the reverse of the
letter.

Most of all... Keep on collecting!
