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, Stamp wants and  and Wensy.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.

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.

My most current section on the website is the A380 Catalogue.  This is the Airbus aircraft that commenced commercial service with Singapore Airlines in 2007. If you are interested in aerophilately I think you might enjoy the pages I have published, especially the photographs from the flights.

My covers are for sale as you will see. Yes I have to pay my airfares and hotels costs etc. 

I believe I was probably one of the first people to produce A380 flight and souvenir covers apart from some Airbus people in France. There are three of us who are reputable in this field that I know of. There are a few sellers on eBay with material that has absolutely nothing to do with the A380, other than it has a hand stamp of the A380 logo placed on the material - for example a Boeing 777 flight cover with a A380 logo stamped on it - derrghh!!!!  Buyer beware, but be aware exactly what you are buying.  

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://cddstamps.blogspot.com where I write about stamps, and show pictures and try to give you some interesting thoughts and information about stamps and stamp collecting.

I also write a blog dedicated to aviation and aerophilately - have a look at http://cddstamps.wordpress.com

So far I have sent free stamps to well over 1200 people in 75 countries; that amounts to over 200,000 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.
