Hi guys, I am a new member to collectSpace. I have been looking in on the site for a while and thought it was about time I joined.
I have been collecting for about two years now and it's safe to say i'm a Space nut!:-)
Best wishes,
Hannah |

I'll second that, Hannah, in welcoming you to this wonderful site and what type of space items/memorabilia do you like to collect? |

Thanks for the warm welcome :-)
I collect mainly patches, postcards, books, stamps, covers and Russian pins (I am fascinated by the the artwork on them). I really like Space art, especially that Leonov and Alan Bean. Soon i'm hoping to start a mini collection of things to do with Gagarin monuments.Hannah

If you're anywhere near Bradford, Yorkshire, they used to have a fairly regular stream of astronauts come to open IMAX movies there... |

Hannah--Give me your mailing address as I'll be happy to enclose a complimentary space packet with some patches, postcards, stamps and many space covers. The pleasure is all mine as I appreciate the opportunity in helping a fellow space collector and enthusiast, but give me a week or so once I hear from you, to get the shipment in the mail. Enjoy your membership with CS.com. |

You wouldn't happen to be from Leeds, would you? Or anyone else here for that matter? |

Hey Cosmic,That's cool. Yorkshire is the "old country" for me. I would like to visit one day. Leeds and Yorkshire in general is supposed to be chock-full of distant relatives. Brian [This message has been edited by collshubby (edited January 04, 2006).] |

You'll enjoy the stuff from Ken, he sent me a package once, and he gave me another bundle of goodies when I visited his home in Florida last year - as well as the wonderful tour of Cape Canaveral that I'll always remember.
Also, you might be sure to get your name added to the list for one of the "Grab Bags" of goodies that has been traveling around the world for a couple years now. I think there are 3 boxes making the rounds now.
Have fun and welcome to the group!Tom

Hi Hannah!
Welcome to CS !
Your post about Gagarin and Russian Space pins caught my eye. I'm working on setting up a "Vostok/Voskhod" mini-museum/archive of sorts complete with pins, covers, stamps, autographs, and flown material, etc.I could send some pins your way... All the Best,
Kyra |
