Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the rules of our forums which can be found here. Also once you have hit a post count of 25 you can begin using the PM system to message fellow members as well as use the marketplace where you can buy, sell and trade stamps. Guidelines for the marketplace are here.
Should you have any questions or issues please feel free to PM one of the Admins or Mods (you can PM them any time after you join... no need for the 25 posts for them) and we will be sure to get back to you when we are able.
Should you have any difficulty while posting here our How-to section located here may be of some assistance.
Once again welcome to Stamp Bears and we all look forward to hearing more about you and your collections.
Welcome to Stamp Bears. We are glad that you decided to join us. If you have any questions please ask one of our great members, or send a pm to one of our staff members. Our Admin/Moderator team are here to help you.

Oh, our members here love to see other members collections. Once you settle in, don't hesitate to show some scans of your collection. There are many threads already started. If you cant find a thread to post your scans, start a new one.

@daravenh, welcome to Stamp Bears from a fellow Canadian. Like you, I am retired and took up the hobby after leaving it in my teenage years. We have a great group of knowledgeable and friendly members on this forum. I look forward to your participation in our threads. Mike

I am a letter writer, snailmail addict. I send therefore I receive. I also manage a letter writing/correspondence forum called A World of Snail Mail. I sometimes post pictures on Instagram (username morgaine_does_snail_mail) Stamp themes - science, nature, postal history, maps, nice stamps.
Welcome to Stamp Bears, @daravenh. Happy you are joining us and I am glad to hear it is sunny somewhere in North America!
