Collectors’ Connection

The beginning stamp collector will probably have hundreds of questions.
For example, a collector might want to know what countries and topics to collect which album t begin with methods of display. problems on soaking and or mounting specific stamps. This is where the  local stamp clubs and the local stamp collectors, can of enormous  assistance to the beginner.

Beginners may no always feel welcome when they go to their first club meeting. Sometimes they approach the wrong people when they seek information. They should approach people who have more time to help them as well as the officers of the clubs who usually are willing to do things for other people on the other hand the old timers or the more experienced collectors should show a greater willingness to assist the beginner. These person do exist and their service to the hobby is an invaluable blessing and an enormous help. Nothing is more important to a beginner than finding a common ground for discussions and expression of interest.

Basic Philately Choosing a home for your first Staps

Once you have acquired a few stamps, you will want a home for them. The purchase of this, your first album, will not require so much thought and consideration as will later albums.

You should regard this one as nothing more than a temporary home for your stamps until your experience increases and your future philatelic course can be charted.

There are several good begrimes albums available at about $10 and in various sizes, but do not get one with a capacity of more than 20,000 stamps.
