HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Dear friend,
My name is Benoît. I have been collecting used stamps for more than 25 years now and I enjoy very much to exchange stamps with friends all over the world. With the Internet (see the great links on the right), I had the chance to exchange stamps with many friends in the last five years and it was really fun.

THE STAMP GAME is very simple and it will give you the chance to find the stamps that you need and/or to diversify your duplicates so you can offer a better choice to your friends.
Rules of THE STAMP GAME (please read all the rules first):
1- Send me an e-mail and tell me the game (WWD (World DEFINITIVE stamps) or WWC (World COMMEMORATIVE stamps)) that you prefer to join. Give me your name and your mailing address.
2- I will reply to you and confirm your participation.
3- Then send me 50 different LARGE POSTALLY USED COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS (undamaged) from the World (for game WWC, no CTO stamps please! (large "used" stamps with gum (ex. Hungary, Romania, Poland, etc.)(100 different SMALL/LARGE POSTALLY USED DEFINITIVE STAMPS for game WWD)) at the address below :
THE STAMP GAME (please specify WWC or WWD)
41, du Blainvillier
Blainville, Québec
J7C 5B1
CANADA
4- Each time I have FOUR different participants for one of the two versions, I will form a game by joining the FOUR lots of 50 stamps together to have a nice big lot of 200 stamps (the total lot) (4 * 100 = 400 stamps for the WW game with definitives). And THE STAMP GAME begins. I will send you the list of the FOUR participants for your game by e-mail so you will know exactly what is going to happen next (and you will also have a list of friends to exchange stamps!)
5- I will take a look at the total lot and will keep the stamps that are interesting for me. I will replace the stamps that I decide to keep by other stamps from my duplicates (all different large used commemorative stamps undamaged).
Example: I decide to keep 50 stamps in the total lot of 200. Then I put 50 different stamps from my duplicates in the lot in order to keep the total number of stamps at 200.
6- Next, I will send the new total lot of 200 stamps to the first player of the game (the one at the top of the list) who will do the same. He will keep some of the stamps in the new total lot and will replace them by some of his duplicates, in order to have 200 stamps
in the new total lot. He will then send the new total lot to the second player and so on.
7- When the fourth player is done, he simply has to send back the lot of 200 stamps to me (at the address above). I will take a look at the new lot and will replace the stamps that I want by others, so the final lot of the game will be different than the one I received from the fourth player.
8- Finally, I will randomly choose one of the four player (not me) and he will win the final lot of 200 stamps. I will send him the lot and our game will be over.
9- If every players follows the rules, we should probably be able to play each game in two or three months since it is a WW version (international).
10- If you want to participate more than once or to different games (WWC and WWD), just send me one note for each participation please.
Let's play THE STAMP GAME and have fun!!!
