The overview per country at "My collections" is an excellent list to have an overview of the imported stamps per country.

BUT !!!

I have the impression that not all countries or postal areas are listed for the "larger" collectors.

For example, I currently miss the postage stamps of the following countries or postal areas:

- French West Africa: 1

- Albania: 1

- Alexandria: 6

- Australia: 1

- Baths: 1

- Chemnitz: 1

- Cilicia: 2

- French Colonies: 4

- Epirus: 5

- Frankfurt: 1

- Georgia: 2

- Hamburg: 1

- Hanover: 1

- Heligoland: 1

- Iceland: 1

- Carinthia: 5

- Church status: 1

- Crete (French): 1

- Crete (Greece): 7

- Crete (Austria): 2

- Croatia: 1

- Levant (French): 9

- Levant (British): 1

- Luboml: 5

- North German postal area: 8

- Prussia: 2

- Saarland: 2

- San Marino: 6

- Schleswig-Holstein: 5

- Serbia: 8

- Upper Silesia: 10

- Thrace: 10

- Zaire: 2

Together: 105 stamps.

This problem apparently occurs not only with my collection but also with other collections:

Examples (random, and it didn't take me long to search)

Vlendert has two Algeria stamps; are not on his list;

carl1: ditto

Carol: ditto

Vlendert has 7 Angola stamps; are not on his list.

etc ...

Can someone explain this problem to me and fix it if necessary?

To be fair, I must add that when you click on "View all stamps" in the selection of countries, all countries or areas are indeed mentioned.

However, if you look for Zaire stamps in the first instance and it does not appear in the list, you will not be inclined to look at the stamps to check whether there are no Zaire stamps in between ...

I've noticed this too. I think he only shows the x number of largest countries. This is also the case with Themes / Motif. I should count how many countries exactly are shown, but I think this is fixed.

I don't know the reason for that either, but I suspect that it mainly has to do with visual issues.

What is the use of 2 lists of which the 1st is incomplete? Only leads to misunderstandings.

Better to omit the 1st list, so that the choice is immediately available:

View all Stamps »

All Countries / Areas, Themes / Motif »
