Because of work commitments other hobbies I didn't resume stamp collecting until 2015 when I further pursued building my Specialised collection. As I gathered material I became interested in the Cancellations and decided to make them shared focus in my display and I further replaced the FU with cancelled stamps where available . I have attached 2 pages of my 1863 collection as a sample.
Do you like this approach?
Hi Karel,
I think your second attachment is fine. The first attachment is also fine if it is just for your own amusement. But if you are going to display it publicly then I think you need to decide if it is an 1863 part of a display of the Austrian stamp issues or a display of postmarks. If it is the former, then it doesn't need all the different postmarks. If it is the latter, then I think the postmarks are better arranged by town within provinces. Just an opinion.
