Stamp Collecting

Kina K asked:


That’s blank and doesn’t have U.S or Countries on them? I do random collecting (I’d like it to have that protective film over it okay?)

Jonathan asked:


Okay. Well, I’ve recently started to collect stamps. Mostly, I’m doing it because it’s fun and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Anyways, I have a lot of stamps, mostly, I’m trying to start out sticking with U.S stamps, although I intend on soon collecting European stamps once I understand what I’m doing. Anyways, I’m pretty good at removing stamps from paper, which is what I’ve been doing for a few days now. I have about 1500 U.S stamps. But, could anyone tell me what to do after I get them all off of paper? How should I sort them? Also, how do I judge the stamps by value based on the looks of them? Last but not least, since I’m a beginner, could anyone who has been collecting give me some tips on stamp collecting, or just some helpful information. Any info is helpful. Thank you. Hope someone can help.

An envelope stamped, by the post office to commemorate an event. The cancellation stamp? By the way - what do you call stamp collecting?

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.

I have a few stamps from a childhood collection, nothing that valuable, but I would like to organize them and add to them for my grandchildren’s enjoyment. How do I get started? I thought there would be albums available to indicate which stamps are valuable and which to group together, etc. but I can’t find anything like that. Any advice?

It seems to me that so few ppl write letters these days using stamps and that interest in stamps and collecting them are also competing with the internet and video games. Your thoughts? I will continue to collect stamps for fun, but am not sure that they will be a good investment if the number of collectors fall.
