Stamp/First Day Cover Collection

Monday, 9 November 2020

Lately, I took out my boxes of old stamps and first-day cover which I have kept them since years ago. Last time I collected a lot of stamps, washed, and place them into albums. Janice and my dad also used to keep lots of stamp albums and a lot of them were also unwashed stamps and from all over the world. They passed them all on to me.

Since I am unable to go out at this time of CMCO, I occupied my time arranging, wash, and take pictures of my stamps and first-day cover to sell. I'm slowly doing as there are a lot of them.

I'm doing all these things to occupy my day and especially my mind so that I don't keep thinking of negative things.

My Collections

Wednesday, 8 July 2020

Since early this week, I have been busy checking and arranging my old notes and coins which I have been keeping for a few years.

An Indian buyer from Kulim who has been purchasing my online items for the past few times, came back again to buy some of my items. As I was having clearing sale for my items, he bought my items at a cheaper price. 

At the same time when we chat he asked me do I have old coins. He is collecting them as his hobby. I was happy to hear that. I thought to myself, maybe he would like to purchase my old coin. 

He says would like to meet me and see my coins, maybe we could exchange them. I slightly hesitate as I didn't tell him I'm a disabled, Later when I told him. He said he sees everyone the same. I was glad to hear that.  From there, we contact through whatapps

On Wednesday (8/7) morning, he came to my apartment and I met him at our lobby. I passed him all the items which he bought and he paid me cash. After settling the purchase of our items, we talked about the coin albums we had. He showed me his 2 coin albums and I showed mine too. We exchanged some of the coins.  We spent an hour and a half chatting.

It was a nice morning getting to know a new friend who has the same hobby as mine.
