I have a stamp collection I've been collecting for a few years. It contains a First Day Issue Gold stamp replica of Iowa Statehood 150th Anniversary Stamp (from 1996) and a Youth Team Sports (football) Gold stamp replica (from 2000). These are gold replicas that are still in the issuing envelopes, attached to red velvet. I haven't altered them in any way. They are as good as new.
There are also many U.S. cancelled stamps. Some appear to be old, such as a George Washington 2 cent and a 5 cent stamp and an Eisenhower 8 cent stamp.
There are also some uncancelled 1 cent Omnibus 1880's and 2 cent Locomotive 1870's stamps, as well as a couple of Lunch Wagon 1890's 23 stamps. Don't know when they were issued but they're not that old. I have an uncancelled Bill Cody 15 cent stamp too.
I also have:
2 stamps from Korea
4 stamps from Mexico
2 stamps from Denmark
1 stamp from Italy
1 stamp from India
10 stamps from Canada
None of these stamps are duplicates
26 U.S. stamps are not cancelled
There are 108 other cancelled U.S. stamps
So the entire collection is over 150 stamps from 7 countries, along with two gold replicas. Is anyone an avid stamp collector? Would you be interested in trading some plants or bulbs for this collection? If so, let me know.
I'm looking for unusual tropicals, succulents, perennials, bulbs, etc.

HAVE: Stamp Collection, First Day Issue Gold Replicas for..
Nancy Ann,
My husband and mother-in-law are avid collectors...Let me tell you what I have for trade.
I have fresh bulbs of "Ornamental Sweet Potato" Marguarite - Bright Lime Green, it spreads as a beautiful ground cover, or grows in a pot. They produce large red bulbs or tubers and are easily able to mutliply each year.
I also have Black-eyed Susan seeds
Succulent ground covers that shoot out yellow flowers and almost looks like the ice plant, but is very hardy....you can almost sit it on cement and it grows throughout the year very well.
Cannas, red, orange/yellow, salmon
roses, dwarf and tall climbing, (I can give you all the cuttings you want) It's still warm here in Texas, so I haven't started cutting all the rose bushes yet.
Tons of wonderful tomato seeds that I couldn't hardly believe I grew over ten feet tall called Whopper
I have also some seeds from a grape tomato plant that I put alongside of the Whopper plant and they fell in love with each other and grew together very well.
I have some sedum that shoots off pink flowers that grows pretty fast and makes a nice ground cover.
Are any of these something you might like? Let me know..
