NOTE: I am in the process of building this site. So changes and updates will happen frequently. There will be plenty to see. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about Hudson River Philatelist. Below you will find a listing of Countries By Continent. I plan to show a selection of stamps from those countries that I have. Ask if you would like to see samples from a particular country.
Stamps of Ukraine will be appearing in the "GALLERY OF STAMPS" SOON!
And more to come. I promise.
Please feel free to drop me a line if you wish to learn more. mitch@hudsonriverphilatelist.com
