Philippe & Guido Poppe are both stamp collectors specialized in subjects (either animals from before 1945 and worldwide butterflies of the family Papilionidae). They run www.poppe-stamps.com together,a leading website with over 100,000 scanned stamps organized by theme and country. Guido is an expert on shells and has written many books on the subject. Philippe got a background in web-technology and together they run www.conchology.be as well, the leading site on mollusks with tens of thousands of visitors a day from where also the experience in mail-order business.

We felt there is a place and need on the web for a homepage that offers enough stamps to be browsed either by subject or country. Our geographical situation in the Philippines allows us to build this website in a reasonable laps of time. This is a fairly new website and we are open for any suggestion that can ameliorate our services.
