THE LATEST ITEMS ADDED TO THIS WEBSITE
Since I took the decision to show all my error stamps and philatelic items on this website, changes are made almost every day.
The most crazy errors are already available, but there is still a long way to go, as during the last forty years, I have been collecting more than 3.000 items.
It is a huge work, every stamp has to be scanned, the database has to be filled with comments in three languages, and the website has to be updated.
On this page, you can follow my progress.
Presently, 3688 errors are already shown on the website.
