Stamp collecting is a hobby I want to get into. Have you ever collected stamps?
I have not but my sister is a big stamp collector
I think that the correct term for a stamp collector is a "philatelist." Can you believe they have a term for that?
They have terms for the collectors of all sorts of things - even coins
I like stamps more than coins because there are more types of stamps to collect since governments issue new ones periodically.
That is true.  There are a huge variety of stamps.  Did you hear about how they recently put the wrong statue of liberty on a stamp?
No i did not! I hear that mistakes like that can be very valuable in the collecting world.
Yes.  Missprints are very valuable!  In this case the owner of the Las vegas statue sued the government!
That is amazing. I would love to have something like that in my collection. Any idea what the value is for it?
It was just done and there are millions out there.  So probably just 48 cents!
Then I could probably get my hands on one and see the value grow in the future. I think my collection is going to focus on various monarchies around the world. Kings and Queens are popular stamp subjects.
