Postage Stamp Collection Information

The most economical way to start a stamp collection is to buy a ready made collection of stamps. And one should in fact, buy the largest possible collection, because sooner or later one would want to make a collection as large as possible or even to complete it. And if one buys the stamps individually from a retail stamp dealer and pays whatever the certain price is, the total sum will be very much larger than buying a stamp collection.  All individual collections are made up in glassine envelopes, unless, otherwise described .

Of course, by buying the largest collection, one pays the most average price per stamp because in a large collection of 500 different stamps of one country, one gets better and much scarcer stamps than one gets in a collection of 100 different. A collection of 100 different is made of the most easily available stamps of that country but to make 500 different one has to search for much scarcer, more unusual and more expensive stamps.

The world being as it is today with so many countries issuing plenty of stamps each year, it is completely impossible to get a complete collection of the entire world. One has to specialize in a country or a few countries or for example a group of countries as Latin America, British Colonies, French Colonies, Scandinavia or whatever one prefers.

One can also choose a certain topic and disregard the countries and only collect stamps that have pictures that one likes. One can collect stamps that have pictures of animals on them or pictures of ships, trains, birds, horses, Olympic themes etc.

Stamp collecting certainly is an exiting hobby and people of all kinds have collected stamps like the British Royalty, King Farouk of Egypt, President Roosevelt and many other prominent people. Stamp collecting is also highly educational. One learns about foreign money, foreign countries, history, art etc. and stamps do not loose their value. In fact they have international value and can generally be brought in and out. It is a very fascinating hobby and a collection of stamps arranged neatly in an album can be a beautiful sight that the owner can be proud of.

Some people ask if these stamp collections contain mint stamps or used stamps. Mint means un-used. Well, they mostly consist of both, some are mint and some are used. A few collections have only mint and a few collections have only used.

Stamp Packets or Lot Construction

All lots start out the same, such as 50 stamps all different. For a lot of 100 we will take the first 50 stamps
and add 50 different etc. A lot of 200 stamps will be the same as a lot of 100 stamps plus 100 more different.

50 Stamps all different
50 Stamps all different	+50 Stamps all different	=100 all different
50 Stamps all different	+50 Stamps all different	+100 all different	=200 all different
50 Stamps all different	+50 Stamps all different	+100 all different	+200 all different	=400 all different
