DEAR FRIENDS, OUR BABY IS BORN 5 WEEKS IN ADVANCE THAN EXPECTED, BUT HEALTHY. DUE TO HARDSHIP DURING LAST DAYS OF PREGNANCY AND EARLY ARRIVAL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FINISH PREPARING THE BABY ROOM (WHERE MY COLLECTIONS USED TO BE) AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO POST 3 PARCELS TO PEOPLE I PROMISED TO AND RECEIVED STAMPS FROM. LESTER, JAN AND ANNAMARIA, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU, I JUST DID NOT HAVE TIME TO PREPARE AND POST YOUR ENVELOPES. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THIS VERY LONG DELAY

I CAN NOT DO ANY MORE SWAPS AT THE MOMENT. I WILL START SWAPPING AGAIN WHEN OUR BABY IS SAFE.

***NEW NOTE****

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM BACK. UNFORTUNATELY ALL THE COLLECTIONS ARE STILL IN BOXES; I AM MERELY ADDING MATERIAL TO COLNECT CATALOGUE, I STILL CAN NOT DO ANY SWAPS OR MANAGE MY LONG DELAYED PROMISED SWAPS... I APOLOGISE DEEPLY

Hi, I am an university professor in Turkey. I collect pre 1950s stamps, postcards, coins, medals and banknotes. My wife collects pre 1950s photographs (especially of females with emphasis on Ottoman empire) and my son Lego sets (or plays with them!!!) :):)

PLEASE ALWAYS SEND WITH REGISTERED POST TO PREVENT LOSS. I ALSO WILL POST REGISTERED.

STAMPS:

Although I have many thousands of stamps from all over the world it will take time to upload all of them (usually not adding after 1950s). If you see a country with no stamps or few in my collection listing, it probably means I have not added them yet. Some countries (mainly European) I have finished though, usually countries where I have many stamps for swap are finished.

I can send photos of the stamps prior to swapping so that you can inspect their conditions. I hope you can do the same for me. For rare and valuable stamps please offer me stamps of equal merit.

I only seek pre 1950s; nothing modern. You can offer me photos, postcards, coins, banknotes pre 1950s for stamps if you like.

POSTCARDS:

I have about 100 or more modern postcards (1950s onward) from several countries that I do not want and can swap. I will eventually add them to Colnect database, but that is very low priority for me at the moment (busy adding pre 1945). If you offer me postcards that fit my collection (vintage pre-1940s), I can send these to you in exchange. We can arrange a mutually beneficial swap rate that we agree on. I can photo the cards in big lots for you to examine. Contact me if anyone is interested.

COINS AND OTHER METAL ITEMS:

Due to new postal regulations in my country, it is almost impossible to post modern coins or related items. So please do not ask for modern Turkish coins, I can not provide them.

YABANCI PARA KOLEKSİYONU:

Yurtdışına göndermek zor ama Türkiye içinde yabancı metal para değişmek isteyen olursa kontağa geçelim; elimde çok sayıda fazla var değişebileceğim.
