Hello! My favorite hobby is collecting stamps!
Stamp collecting is related to philately, which is the study of stamps themselves.
Very interesting, its a very niche hobby, mainly older folks unlike myself!
Some people may be casual collectors and just accumulate stamps for fun with no real attention to detail.
It can be fun and rewarding as well, some stamps can sell for millions of dollars.
Yes, they are often collected for historical value and relate to the pictures they depict, such as kings, queens, and presidents.
Fun fact, when Latvia printed stamps after WWII, paper was in such short supply that they would print them on the back of german maps!
Wow, its easy to see why stamp collecting is so intriguing. There is a never ending stream of stamps as each country tries to advertise its distinctiveness through stamps.
True! On the outside it can seem boring but there is rich history in stamps.
