My name is Alan Barasch. I have been collecting the stamps of the Falkland Islands since about 1969 and exhibiting them since 1977. I am a life member of the American Philatelic Society, member of the Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group, American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors, St. Helena, Tristan and Ascension Study Group, Collectors Club of New York, and a number of local clubs.
How I Started Collecting Falkland Islands
In 2008, I am redefining the exhibit even further. The new exhibit is should expand from one-frame of one penny stamps to 4 frames covering the entire QV period. I have accumulated enough material to fill 6 frames but would rather tell a tight story. Showing 8 different postion pieces of a cheap items is not productive. |
The ExhibitMy exhibit of the Falkland Islands stamps covers the years 1878 to 1902 or more appropriately, the issues of the Queen Victoria era. The Scott's catalog numbers these issues 1 through 21 with several varieties. Stanley Gibbon's numbers them from 1 to 42 with considerably more varieties. The Heijtz catalog, which I think is one of the most comprehensive, list numbers to 15 but goes into excruciating detail of the varieties in each value. There being about 18 color variations, these 2 kinds of bisects and constant varieties. Watch WSP shows for this exhibit. |
