New , Old Pick Up Truck stamps just for you from our USPS

[Greg Myers]

Called "Topical" collecting, you could put together quite a nice collection of U.S. stamps with just an automotive theme. Up until the early '70's there were only about 27 different U.S. stamps with an automotive theme and you really had to search for them. Now, wow, even Hot Rods.

The USPS put out a series of "muscle car" stamps a few years ago. Pretty cool.

FYI, if you are buying in bulk, postage might be going down soon.

To prevent those so inclined from printing these out on their own thus, basically, printing  counterfeit stamps.

Actually, you could assemble a pretty cool collection of stamps that feature autos on them, especially if you include stamps from all around the world.

I have NEVER seen that one at all. This can't be common.

now yer gittin on shakey ground. From around the world ? I think a lot of young stamp collectors get lost in this quagmire only to tread water long enough to realize they'd better pare it back a bit.

There out there , and being topical you'll find just about everything there is in the automotive realm.

I really like the anual releases from Monaco. These are F1 oriented.

If you're talking about one specific topic, like cars on stamps, you can assemble a really nice topical worldwide collection. Of course, trying to collect stamps in general from around the world is impossible. It would be a full time job, and you would need an endless supply of $$$.

BTW... why are most of the images you posted in this thread missing?

Harry may i ask what you keep your stamps in?

[Greg Myers]

I was wondering the same thing. I started out with a nice stock book allowing me to move them around.
