WELCOME. I hope you enjoy looking around.

What's News: The format has changed ..... I hope it is easier to read..    Do send me your thoughts...  all ideas gratefully received.  I hope you look at the Online Shopping.. a small selection of very good quality stamps..   I sell on eBay and Stampoffers.com and my starting bids are low.  Please have a look. No one has been disappointed when they have purchased from me. I have a 100% rating from over 100 different people who either buy from me or from whom I buy.

If you have a Wants List please send it to me and I'll see if I have what you are looking for. 

There is a  Children's Corner. If you know someone who would be interested in this, please tell them.

There is a regular Competition - It has been running now for over three years and I've had many entries from many countries and from both new and very experienced collectors. I try to make it interesting and educational. It only costs you the price of a stamp to enter and the stamps I get are used to make up the free packets I send out.

LINKS: I have created a page for links to other sites. I will gladly put your link there if you'll reciprocate. However, I will only put the link up if I believe you share the same high standards as I do and have the same respect for privacy.

ABOUT ME:  I live in Sydney, Australia. I travel a fair bit  but I do try to get your emails and requests answered, and usually do so in a week or so. Please be patient  - I will get stamps to you eventually.

I also have a stamp blog http://blog.michael.dodd.com where I write most days about stamps, and show pictures and try to give you some interesting thoughts and information about stamps and stamp collecting. If the site is ever down there is a backup at http://cddstamps.blogspot.com

So far I have sent free stamps to over 1000 people in 75 countries; that amounts to over 150,000 free stamps. Self promotion maybe,  but I'm pleased to be helping so many new, young and even old collectors. And if I can sell a few along the way it helps pay the postage I incur sending the free stamps and, maybe it will help me with my collection which if you look at  my Wants List you will realise is rather specialised, difficult to find and of course expensive. If you can help me with my Great Britain George V Downey Head and Photogravure collections I would be very pleased to hear from you. 

I am a member of the Great Britain Philatelic Society and the Internet Philatelic Dealers Association.

If your interest is Australian stamps please let me know. I have quite a lot of Australian stamps which I have never sorted or studied. I am happy to trade or even send a few free stamps. Email me  at CDDSTAMPS for more details.

PRIVACY POLICY: If you  email me, I will not wrongly use your email address. I will not share your personal information with any third parties.
