SynonymsRelated terms
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as covers (envelopes or packages with stamps on them). It is one of the world's most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States alone. CollectingA French stamp issued in a panoramic formatCollecting is not the same as philately, which is the study of stamps. A philatelist often does, but need not, collect the objects of study, nor is it necessary to closely study what one collects. Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details. The creation of a large or comprehensive collection, however, may require some philatelic knowledge. 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. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries. Some collectors have taken to philatelic investment, whereby stamps are acquired for the primary objective of earning future profits as opposed to building one's personal collection.

GNU Free Documentation License stamp collecting? Q. Hi ppl I have a question about stamp collecting, will the value of my stamps make a differance if I sort them out by country? thanks. Asked by Attila the Hun - Sat Jun 7 12:29:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hi Sorting your stamps by country will permit you or anyone looking to know what stamps you have. Most general collectors sort by country to place in their stamp album or to be able to look in a general worldwide stamps catalog. Sorting dose not increase the value of an individual stamp other than to be able to check the catalog value. I've been collecting for over 70 years and have changed what I was most interested in several times. There is always more to enjoy.

Q. I bought the entire Scott Catalog on CD, and I'm new to stamp collecting. I'm trying to look up stamps in the catalog and I don't really understand the different columns, classifications, prices, etc. Is there some sort of index or key to understanding how stamps are listed? Thanks. Asked by lindauerndc - Fri Jun 9 20:56:04 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I've never really used Scott, but I do know somewhat how it works. There are two price columns, one for how much a mint stamp would be and one for a used stamp. Every stamp has a Scott number, universally used to identify the stamps (For example the 1963 5 cent stamp of Eleanor Roosevelt is Scott #1236). Other than that I don't really know much. is a wonderful website full of philatelic info, qestions and answers, and other useful things. Happy collecting!
