Tips on Stamp Collecting


Stamp collection is a popular hobby across the United States. It is the act of collecting small self-adhesive pieces of paper with different designs.

It is something really fun and easy. Here are some surefire tips that would help you build your stamp collection.

* Start on the low key. Start collecting used stamps instead of buying new ones immediately.

* Search your mailbox. What better way to find stamps is through searching through the pile of mail you receive each time.

* Get your friends, family members and neighbors involved. Spread the word that you are building a stamp collection. In this way you can ask for their stamps. Also, when someone is going on a trip, you can grab this opportunity to buy a stamp from where he is going.

* Check for old mails or envelopes. These could be sources of old stamps that can no longer be found at present.

* Form a group of stamp collectors or perhaps join one. You can share your sources of stamps. Better yet you might be able to get a good bargain when you buy stamps in larger numbers. It can also be a place for swapping stamps.

* Look for stamp clubs. This is where you can meet other stamp collectors from whom you can seek advice about your stamp collection.

* Have a pen pal. Your exchange of letters would generate stamps located from different places.

* Research. Some magazines or online shops sell unique stamps. Perhaps, there even might be treasure finds.

* Check out stamp auctions. They usually have a variety of stamps that are really hard to find in the market.

These are only few tips that help a beginner stamp collector.

It is not really having all the existing stamps but having a unique collection of stamps that would reflect your personality.

It is a way to discover the different cultures of various countries. It is also a way to keep a record of history.

Note that stamp collection is not just about gathering different stamps.

The act of caring for the stamps is equally important. Fervent care should be instituted if you intend for your collection to last for years.

Also, it would be no fun if the stamps you collect would only wither away.

With ample care, you will enjoy stamp collecting. You'll never know, your stamp collection might become the most valuable in the next years.

Our section here on the site will show you how to start stamp collecting so that you will have fun, not pay too much for your stamps (or how to get them free)along with tips for how to know the value of your stamps if you decide to trade and sell stamps.

Stamp collecting is fun and affordable, for you, your kids and your friends. I have had many years of pleasure from my stamp collection.
