I think they are both very good designs and I hope that whoever designed and illustrated them gets the recognition they deserve - it's such a shame to see artwork produced and  sold without credits - it adds interest for collectors and creates positive rivalry amongst the different team members involved.
 
When good work isn't credited it is left to others to give their best guess and this often leads to incorrect information being laid down and assumed to be correct by all those who follow.  I can understand why some of the designers of previous DW issues might not want to be directly associated with their work, but why not immediately give credit for excellence where it is due?
 
I am now REALLY looking forward to seeing the Christmas/Hogswatch offering - and the new definitives in the new year...

Due to unforseen circumstances all my Cinderella FDCs + DW stamp items for the last 3-4 years fill more than 2 good sized plastic crates. OK many are still in the envelopes they arrived in but that's just my way of protecting them.
 
I have been on very strong pain killers that have effected my memory for the last 3-4 years and during this time have duplicated orders galore, even buying sports and limited edition FDCs etc. from eBay when I already owned them. Fortunately I did keep copies of all orders and emails but never thought of referring to them except once. I thought I was suffering from dementia and told my GP and was so relieved to discover I certainly was not and he explained my memory loss.
 
I just can't be bothered sending in all the spare stamps I have for the trading stamps. I have done in the past and only used 1 sheet. I still have the other sheets. In the past I would make up year packs for new collectors and send them FOC.
 
I will be sorting through the collections and also will open up the LBEs to see what I have in them. I have never sold anything on eBay despite having a Seller's account.
  
Anything special that is duplicated I would offer on here first if that's OK.

I stopped collecting Discworld stamps at the end of the fourth year, and although I am tempted to start again if the quality continues to improve,  I think I ought to first fill in some of the gaps in my existing collection. So I will be very interested in anything you have to sell from the first four years and might be able to swap for some of my duplicates.
 
I am looking forward to seeing your list.

Hello Witchfromlancre,
I'd like to thank you for your exceedingly kind offer of giving us the first chance on any duplicates you find amongst your collection. I'm very interested in filling up the gaps in mine.  There are a number of sheets that were fairly common when they were first released that I'd really like to get hold of... 
I have a wants list posted in the Stamps trading area.

I also have gaps in my collection as I am trying to set aside two of every DW stamp we designed for my sons. Over the years my archives have been battered and bruised from being moved about and I think I am only now realising just how valuable some of them were.
 
Anyway - I am looking forward to seeing your list of doubles Margaret.

This seems as good a place as any to wave and say hello.  I'm working on the stamp yearbook (aka stamp albums) and didn't realise this forum existed.  So hello!

Hi Kel
 
You should also go on up to the Introduce Yourself section at the top of the pagelist and say hi there, you have more chance of being noticed there.
 
Welcome to the forum anyway, how did you find us?

Hi Kel!
