:D Hear Ye , Hear Ye One & All…
I will become a 8) Seller of Bhutan Stamps in a few short weeks , I was a successful merchant of Bhutan Stamps a little over a year ago and will reopen YakBoy’s Little Thunder Dragon Shop in April ‘09 :clap: . I think I have been on the road as a trucker for too long and after over 10 years of grinding gears and over 20 years of Military Life before that , its time to stay home :kiss: . :mrgreen:

You will absolutely love being at home! Work/play/live/eat/sleep stamps and then wonder why you don't have more time to do just that! You will be more busy than you were when you were working, guaranteed!

You might even take up hula dancing...

Might be more work, but it's work that you choose to do, not the work that you have to do to get a paycheck. (I could only wish.....)

I started working from home in 2001, and only once went back to a 9-5 job (contract required that I be there as a "regular" person) and HATED IT. I wasted more time there and it was sooooo boring. Here, I can work, play with stamps, bug the dog, etc. and be more productive. Good luck to you and I look forward to your store!

And Dianne, I lived in Hawaii for 5 years but never did take up hula; maybe that is a blessing! :shock:

Good thing too! Coconut shells are very uncomfortable to wear.

I played baseball. Had to wear something like a coconut shell. Wasn't all that unconfortable considering the consequences of not wearing one!

As I was listing Sweden I came across the Greta Garbo issues of 2005. My collection consists of the US pane, 3 FDC, one of which contains the double postmark with both the Sweden Stamps, a full Sweden booklet and the Sweden souvenir sheet. I pm'd a fellow who is a Sweden collector, in the UK, and he gave me the whole scoop plus other catalog value and info. So here is my Greto Garbo s/s (I truly love the set but like the US best!) Whilst its not the highest $$ amount in my private collection its one that I collected "joint" issues of, and one that I just plain like... I only collected 3 of the FDC as there are so many out there! Brookman says they are worth about $22 for the ones I have, the key issues. But Scott lists the s/s in italics at $110. My friend says that the scarcity of this s/s should be more than $110. His other catalogs put 'em around $140 for the s/s, hence the italics in Scott, and mine is pristine, and I have a card that came with it.
