IRISH STAMPS AND POSTCARDS FOR EXCHANGE

FÁILTE! WELCOME! BIENVENU!

DIA DUIT(HELLO).My name is John and I live in Ireland.Welcome to my list of Irish stamps and postcards which are available for exchange.
Let me first of all explain that I have a very simple philosophy about trading.One of the many things I find disappointing about the Internet is the "greed" that it encourages.The Irish people have many faults but greed isnt one of them.
I dont like to trade stamps on the rigid basis of catalogue value.If I have a duplicate stamp you want then its yours.Just ask.Hopefully you will offer me something in return.That would be nice.
Why am I so altruistic?Well,my prime interest is the stamps of Ireland(the Republic of Ireland,"Northern Ireland",propaganda stamps and stamps(such as joint issues)issued by other countries which have an Irish theme.
I also collect Irish postcards and I have a passing interest in Irish phonecards.Thanks to the Internet,I have exchanged Irish postcards for those of USA.I only require nine Irish stamps to complete my collection so you wont be able to help me fill in the spaces in my albums anyway.
I still however have my "worldwide"stamp collection and I do get a buzz opening a letter from another country and find enclosed 50 used stamps from a distant place.It recaptures the youthful enthusiasm of my starting stamp collecting nearly forty years ago.
Through stamp collecting,I have met some wonderfully generous people,such as John(now sadly deceased)who sent me many great Irish stamps,on the basis that I lived in the town where he was born).Through postcard collecting I have had contact with a lady who sent me over one hundred postcards of Hawaii.I owe it to their spirit of generosity to behave as they did.
