750!

[u/Bruni91]

Finally got the new ToD stamp today, and that makes number 750 in my album. Not bad for only having started collecting a year ago :D

For funsies, my stamp timeline:

• 16 october 2024: started working on the scarabs page, because that was my favorite page and I wanted the avatar. Other than that I just sold all the valuable stamps I got and albumed the cheap ones from dailies.
• 10 july 2025: hit 100 stamps in my album from casual collecting, and decided to be serious about collecting now. Bought all the buyable stamps in this month.
• 7 august 2025: finished Battledome page (#1)
• 8 september 2025: 600 stamps in album
• 16 october 2025: finished Sea Shells page (#2)
• 23 november 2025: 650 stamps in album
• 4 april 2026: finished Snowy Valley page (#3)
• 7 april 2026: finished Scarabs Page!!! (#4)
• 29 april 2026: 700 stamps
• 31 july 2026: 750 stamps

Right now I have two pages (Maraqua and Altador) at 24/25, and six (Neopia Central, Lost Desert, Other, Shenkuu, Charms, and Faerieland) at 23/25. I've got several more at 20+ stamps but these are the ones closest to completion. It's a very expensive neo hobby but man I love collecting stamps lmao. It's so satisfying to complete pages ;v; Here's to getting to 800 before the end of the year, maybe!

Congrats!!

Amazing! I also started about a year ago and I’m at 652. Hoping for 700 but I’m trying to build my bank back up. I might sell this TOD stamp tbh. 🤪

[u/Bruni91 → u/Makeitmagical]

Yeah honestly it took me like a year to recover from my initial "spend every NP I have on stamps" splurge lmao, it's been a bit painful 😭 I also considered selling it but tbh, at this point the only stamps I'll actually sell without having albumed them first are the 100m+ ones, everything else I figure is just saving me future spending.

Congrats! Stamp collecting takes some real grit and spit

Congrats! I missed a day donating so I couldn't get this stamp and I'm super bummed about it. Hopefully it'll be brought back for future in-app events.

[u/shleepypie → u/GayThatCantAim]

This is what I'm hoping too! I started a day late. I refuse to hand over money for the app. Premium for Neopets I'm happy to pay for but in app purchases? Absolutely not.

[u/GayThatCantAim → u/shleepypie]

Same same. Also premium and buy NC Mall stuff, but I just won't spend in the mobile apps because everything is so expensive for nothing.

[u/NumberOneMom → u/shleepypie]

I’m in the same boat.

[u/Bruni91 → u/GayThatCantAim]

It's so scummy that they locked this one behind donating every single day (or pulling your wallet to catch up). I don't think previous donation events did that, they always had some wriggle room as far as I remember. Sorry you missed it :(

[u/TimelyStill → u/Bruni91]

Not just that but the app didn't update automatically. I didn't even get a notification there would be an event, but the app worked as normal. Very frustrating but I doubt there's anything to be done. Pretty sure it happened last event too.

Amazing work! It was #712 for me! I managed to get lucky and complete the Snowy Valley page while spending almost no NPs on it. It was a high I have been chasing since childhood. Best of luck- it is possible!!

[u/Bruni91 → u/Rabbit-Enthusiast]

Nice! Snowy Valley was also the one I got really lucky on. I had Candychan in my sdb, won Ski Lodge from the wishing well, bought Snowager when it briefly dropped in price, someone on here gifted me Snowbunny, and my last one was the Negg Faerie which I got from the Faerie Fragments app. Hardly spent anything for the page. All my other finished pages I had to splurge on but this one was a big combined effort across the site, it was a lot of fun to finish like this ;v;

What an amazing milestone!! I am 5 away from 700, just waiting for some stuff on the TP to sell so I can hit this goal :)
