Mr. McDonald,

Archie McKee here. Sorry to hear of your problems. We had an online membership renewal problem I think it was better than a year ago, but we got that straight.

Please be advised that I get most of the emails for information for CSS and I have seen nothing from you. So possibly another problem we need to look into.

But rest assured, we will get this corrected as soon as possible. We will get back to you.

I checked up on this. Tracy Shew, CSS Treasurer assures me the problem was corrected to your satisfaction over the weekend.

If you are still having trouble, please let me know.

Hello,

I am Dragan from Serbia. I have been collecting stamps for over 20 years. My passions are rare stamps and stamps with errors. I also interested in good stories and history behind particular stamps. I am collecting Chinese stamps but also stamps from all over the world.

I am expert in Serbian and Yugoslavia stamps and can give you some advice on that if you collect them as well as help you find what you are looking for.

Hello everyone. My name is Victor and I have been a stamp collector since 1986. I have focused on Russia (all areas), Ukraine, and USA. I am a member of APS, Rossica, BSRP, and UPNS. China is a new country for me and I have a great deal to learn. I look forward to meeting everyone online. Thank you.

Hi -- Dick Bennett here. I started collecting worldwide almost 70 years ago, but focused on dead countries after graduating college. Manchukuo was always my favorite. Marriage, work & kids intervened, but now that I'm retired, I'm back at it with a vengeance. Thanks to Simon's website, I discovered a world beyond the Scott catalog -- that will keep me collecting for the foreseeable future.

Hello everyone. My name is Victor and I live in GA. While I am not new to stamp collecting, I am new to collecting China. Total novice. I am a member of CSS and have been reading the past journals in an attempt to educate myself. However, I find China to be a very challenging country to collect. I track my collections electronically and as such rely on cross referencing Scott numbers to specialized catalogs such as the CSS catalog. A cross reference spreadsheet would be very helpful is anyone has one that they would be willing to share. I look forward to being an active participant on this forum and would appreciate any recommendations along the way. Thank in advance and I am looking forward to meeting the members in the chat rooms.

Hello I am Karl from Germany

I am member of the "Forge China " China philatelic research community germany

I am collecting since decades china stamps from imperial to PRC issues

Hope to find experts and information for some questions about chinese stamps.

Actually I want to know, if there is someone having information about the sheet counter numbers printed on only one stamp, visible only under UV light.
This started by end of the year 1999 until 2002, later on, each stamp shows such a number.
