Stamp Blog Review: “My Philately”

My Philately blog screen“My Philately” (http://my-philately.blogspot.com) is an enthusiastic blog about the owner Eric’s highly specific niche interests:

I collect mint stamps from France, China, all stamps issued in 1966, stamps about frogs and toads, about rugby. I’m always interested to exchange mint stamps or nice covers. I’m also looking for covers postmarked on the 9th of May 1966…

Eric has consistently averaged a post about every 2 days since June 2006. His posts feature large scans of covers and stamps he has been sent, and has found otherwise. The posts are in English, although the comment labels (and presumably Eric himself) are French.

The range of posts is very good, with a large list of categories touching on everything from Japan to Andorra to Georgia to Belarus. Since the posts tend to be about rather narrow niches, the blog is a fascinating trove of information that is quite unique.

The blog layout is in a stock Blogspot layout, which means it’s easy to get around but not exactly distinctive, design-wise.

Eric, like many stamp bloggers, has an open offer to trade stamps with anyone in the world. If you have something he wants, check out his blog and send it along to him; he seems very kind and will send you what you’re looking for too.
