Collection of modern stamps is apparently beyond most Members - still each to his/her own.
The specialised societies which sprang up to study issues of both stamps and booklets are either moribund or changed beyond redemption
I was/am? a Machin student, even wrote about them (see the library) - was also a member of the two specialised societies and even Mervyn's money spinner. Helped wth that catalogue too.
Was until recently a member of MBPS (who stated they were to study modern british stamps - but do not do anything other than issue details of new UK stamps etc.etc....)
Joined the CISS because my studies of both papers/gum and booklets led me there. but talk about stamps and a cold chill descends - not least because their members have taken refuge in the study of GB stamps used in and postcards
My money problems and my failing eyesight mean that study is getting out of the question and authority everywhere wants to continue hiding their flaws
If any one takes an interest in the stamps and booklets, esp. Guernsey I can offer much material, and for those who are as broke as me, I will help with any knowledge I have gained.
It is hoped that a proper collection and study of these interesting BRITISH stamps is eventually started by someone
