Cutoff Dates. When do you stop your collection?
Quote from eyestrane on January 22, 2024, 12:13 pmAt one point I wanted to collect "The World" and did not want to limit the end of what I would collect. I found that too large for me to handle with the amount of time and money I had to spend so I was thinking of choosing an end date.
I found this breakdown and I have always liked it:
Classic era 1840 – 1899
Golden era 1900 – 1940
Silver era 1941 – 1959
Bronze era 1960 – 1969
Modern era 1970 – 1999
Ultramodern era 2000-2016So I have now chosen to stop collecting anything past 1960. I did not want to stop at 1940 since the Cold War started in 1947 (Silver) and produced many interesting stamps and I wanted to include them. I also wanted to include issues past the end or WWII (1945 - Silver). So 1960 provided a good end date. I could have stopped at the end of 1959 but I thought I would push it to the end of 1960. A years buffer seems reasonable. When purchasing, because my budget is very limited, I am going to restrict it to anything pre-1900. The extra years up to 1960 are collected just if I happen to accumulate them.
Do you have a cutoff date and, if so, what is it?
