Philately is the study of stamps and related items. Philately is distinct from stamp collecting which does not usually involve the study of stamps. It is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps. For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare or exist only in museums. WordThe word "philately" is the English version of the French word "philatélie", coined by Georges Herpin in 1864. Herpin stated that stamps had been collected and studied for the last six or seven years and a better name was required for the new hobby than timbromanie which was disliked. He took the Greek root word phil or philo, meaning an attraction or affinity for something, and ateleia, meaning "exempt from duties and taxes" to form "philatelie". The introduction of postage stamps meant that the receipt of letters was now free of charge, whereas before stamps it was normal for postal charges to be paid by the recipient of a letter. The alternative terms "timbromania", "timbrophily" and "timbrology" gradually fell out of use as philately gained acceptance during the 1860s. From Wikipedia under the

Or look in the yellow pages of the Houston telephone directory and find a Stamp Dealer. I am a Life Member of the APS and used to collect Vatican Stamps and had a really First Class Collection. I found it difficult to sell it . There does not seem to be a market for Vatican Stamps. If I had to sell it now, I would select a reputable Auction House and speak with them and get an idea of what the collection might bring at auction.
