| | Stamp collecting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Children and teenagers were early collectors of stamps in the 1860s and 1870s. | | | Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries who create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. | | | It is one of the world's most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the US alone. |

| | Stamp Collecting |
| | Stamp hinges will prove most useful and are much cheaper than more expensive mounts which hold the stamp behind some transparent material which you must cut to size (and are generally not reusable). | | | Well, stamp collecting is a reasonably cheap hobby but there are still a few tools you will need to obtain after a while. | | | These are all expensive collecting methods and I don't think they add much to the enjoyment of the hobby. |

| | Welcome to Stamp Collecting |
| | Stamp collecting is a special mix of the structured and the unstructured, and you can make it a personal hobby that will not be like anyone else's. | | | Stamp albums and other storage methods (temporary file folders and boxes, envelopes, etc.) should be of archival-quality acid-free paper, and any plastic used on or near stamps and covers (postally-used envelopes of philatelic interest) also should be archival - as used for safe storage by museums. | | | Other hobby tools include gauges, for measuring the perforations on stamps, and watermark fluid, which makes the special marks in some stamp papers visible momentarily. |
