Question - Samples for Retired sets?

mzmaczyn · 08-29-2005, 09:56 AM

Where can I look to see samples of retired sets? (here or anywhere else online) I have a decent collection of stamp sets, but several of them have been retired for a few years now. 2 of them are my Christmas sets (Christmas Wish, Christmas Peace i think are the names) - and I am hoping to make my own cards this year, so it would be fun to see some samples before I settle on a few designs.

I'm pretty good at taking similar samples and figuring out how to use what I've got to make something similar, but sometimes it's nice to see the exact images you've got. I know these must have been in the gallery at some point, so where do they go once they're retired? Have I just missed my chance?

thanks for any advice,
Mary Anne

did you try the gallery?? just do a search on the set you are looking for and see what is in there!

Samples are not removed from the gallery when a set retires, and you can continue to upload cards made with retired sets. Some retired sets don't have examples, and, although the administration used to add catagories for retired sets that weren't represented, they no longer do. If a set you're looking for isn't listed you can still do a search for it. People may have uploaded to their member gallery, and the cards would be available for viewing.
