If you're thinking about starting a stamp collection, or you're just interested in learning a bit more about collecting stamps and how postage stamps can become an investment, then this video is for you.
This is an introduction to the hobby of Stamp Collecting.
I show you what the hobby is, how to get stamps, how to put them in albums and I show you a little bit about how stamps are identified.
It is a nice quiet hobby that is very rewarding.
You can collect stamps by country or by a topic that you are interested in.
I have a collection of United States Stamps and I also have a collection of stamps about castles.
Collecting stamps by topic is called “topical collecting”.
I've tried listing on eBay, each stamp and realized that it's very difficult to price and valuate your stamp collection unless you've really spent a lot of time learning all the variables.
My advice on how to answer the question "Are my stamps worth anything?"
Take it to a stamp collector who know's his stuff.
That really is the best way, but that being said it does take some time and they may charge a fee, or charge a fee and then offer to purchase your collection and absorb the fee.
A Stamp collection can become valuable
British stamp dealer Stanley Gibbons has been expanding in Asia in recent years to cater to the growing number of affluent collectors.
Set up over 150 years ago, the firm has also diversified its offerings to include the sale of coins, antiques and even rare books.
The beauty of rare stamps and coins is their complete lack of market correlation, which is driven by the passion of high-end collectors spending money on their hobby
China has been one of the fastest-growing markets in Asia recently
