Stamps about AIDS
Hi,
I'm looking to get in touch with other collectors of stamps about AIDS and HIV. I am attempting to compile a master list of all the AIDS/HIV stamps in existence, and would very much like to talk to anyone into the hobby. In exchange I'll be happy to provide you with a finished copy of the list along with other tidbits and advice along the way. I'm also looking to start a small online community of those of us into the hobby. If you collect stamps about AIDS/HIV, please drop me a message at . And I hope to God I don't get spammed out of existence because I posted my e-mail address on a newsgroup. : ) Thanks, --Aaron |

Stamps about AIDS
G'day Aaron, the only two I have in my e-album are this one from Canada http://cjoint.com/data/mplGUljRP5.htm and one fro Romania (no scan available) SG6054 (1999) T1301 2500 lei public health [] hiv aids .JPG There is also a terribly graphic issue from a Central African Nation IIRC, I am looking for it. I am unaware of your terms of reference, I have somewhere a Gay / Lesbian stamp club, that may assist in you search. HTH "Aaron Lawrence" wrote in message oups.com...

IIRC, I am looking for it. This is the one I searched for, (Slovenia not Central Africa) I cannot read Slovene, so I am presuming. http://cjoint.com/data/mplPnYxzFn.htm HTH |

My country (Denmark) has issued one stamp on HIV/AIDS, Scott B81. What concerns spamming there are several online sources for good protection, most of them free. I use the Danish source Spamfighter, which is downloadable in a large number of languages, English included. Other sources might be Mailwasher, AVG etc. Google is your friend for their URLs :-) Good luck :-) Mette |

Stamps about AIDS
One good turn, deserves another
http://tinyurl.com/yja7wv That is indeed an excellent site. I only wish they had included all the stamps in a series instead of just showing the first one. Still, as you said there's a ton of info on it. Here's another that focuses on AIDS stamps from 1988-1993. http://www.mednet.gr/gallery/gallery.htm ------------------ As for Blair, thank you for the dozens of links to stamps. I have most of those on my list, but a few were new to me. In particular the Ghana ones. Here's another that I'd love to identify more closely. http://glhsc.org/db1/00055/glhsc.org...africaaids.jpg I have only seen that picture of it, but haven't stumbled across it in any of my other listings. Anyone out there have a year or a Scott number for it? Do tell. -------------------- I don't have links, but I thought I'd show one of my lists. For North America & the Carribean alone, I have... USA 1 1993 Red ribbon 2806 Canada 1 1996 Stained glass face 1603 Mexico 1 1989 Stick figures around center text St. Kitts 4 2000 Various drawings from a contest 603-6 Antigua & Barbuda 1 2005 Red ribbon next to people in shape of red ribbon 2785 St. Lucia 2 2004 Text next to pictures of people Barbados 1 2002 Red ribbon surrounded by "Stay Safe / Love Life" text. Set 1/4 on AIDS. 1039-42 |
