Female nude in art

(California USA)

I wish to acknowledge the topical collection of nudes which brought me back to stamp collecting. It had been many decades since my stamp collection was lost to passage of time. When life number 2 began, I discovered there was a thing as stamps that promited my favorite subject, the female nude in art. To me, highest degree of skill and desire required to present properly, in a sensual, erotic manner honoring, wonder of this most loved venue, by choice or default.

Not only do I swim in this topic, but opened my eyes to the other fascinations of history and uniqueness of other areas of stamp collecting. Did not take long to find the leaders to point me in the right direction by example, to a point of rules being changed for bidding processes. Yes, I follow the best of the best, then would outbid in the last seconds of the game, by sometimes pennies. The breadth of my acquisitions is exquisite. Now I discover the fascination of berry well defined scopes of collecting. Nudes though are still my first love and lust. From what I know only one person in this world of public persona of nude topical stamp collecting possesses a more complete collect than I.

Point being nudes springboarded me to 1st issues and well beyond to a point that I still have items not able to identify by specific identification number, actually only one left to id in the German inflationary period, a 5,000,000 mark stamp, in which I have only seen one other, which sold unidentified.
