while catching up this morning i cam across this post from @butterflies and thought "what a great topic this will make!!"
so in advance - Thank you Butterflies. here is the post -
I agree, beautiful stamps and postmarks, and I also collect them.
Lately though, I've started thinking about what's the point in collecting all of the perf varieties (the coils vs. booklets and fully perfed varieties) and decided to just collect the coils, and then only one coil, when possible.
Is anyone else limiting their collection this way ??
Now most members know that in my own collections i am either attempting completeness (see another thread on this topic) or a super casual (what ever comes may way) type of collector.
so were i to chase a particular set i would want all varieties.
but what about you? do you limit them? what has been your experience on either side of this?

. I also don't collect coil pairs, plate blocks FDC's( unless there is a personal reason for it). As far as the different varieties of some US stamps. If there is a space for it in the album I'll try to get one.
