New to Collecting
hi,
i'm new to stamp collecting. i purchased a handful of packages of stamps on ebay, and had a lot of fun sorting them all out and placing them in those little glassine envelopes. i also purchased a real nice three volume set of stamp collecting albums with all the pages marked for each kind of stamp. i've restricted my purchases to U.S. stamps only. my question is, what now? i've got lots of samples of almost every stamp in the stamp catalog, so how do i know which ones to place in the albums and which ones to donate to the local stamp club's program to interest kids in stamp collecting? my first inclination was to simply use the best example of each stamp, but after talking to a stamp collector, i've come to discover there are about a bizillion variations possible on each stamp type that can make a difference in its collectability. i can't afford a scott's catalog yet (perhaps next year!). any suggestions? karen |
