i started collecting different kinds of stamps as a hobby, at first, i wasn't that serious about it, i found out that there are many interesting and rare old stamp which would be neat to collect. Some of these old rare stamps gets expensive in time. i have mint stamps also that i bought directly from the post office and i also collect used ones, i just cut them from the envelope, soak them in warm water and let them dry in a towel. They are actually fun to collect because of their different designs and pictures. i became a member of 2 stamps company that sends you stamps to look and examine it at your home for 15days before you decide to buy them. If you are not interested to the stamps that they send you, you just return them back without any obligation to pay anything. They have all stamp collecting supplies that you need. They will send you stamp magazines and catalogs for FREE if your already a member. Try to search Mystic Stamp and Kenmore Stamp Co. if your interested with this. This is really a good hobby so Happy Stamp Collecting!

My grandmother and mom both have a stamp collection. I don't know why they started it, but they seemed to enjoy it.

I've never collected stamps before. I have seen some neat stamps that have been on pieces of my mail before though. I hope you get a lot more neat ones!!
