STAMPS

Costas Handolias

I have been collecting stamps since 1993. My uncle has helped me to build a large collection of stamps, and I have a big variety of interesting cultural stamps. I am interested in stamps because one stamp can give us information about places, countries, cities, important people, traditions, and so on.

If you have a collection of old stamps it's like you are holding a little treasure in your hands. The quality of a stamp is another important method by which you can understand if a stamp is valuable.

You can collect stamps in many ways. Nowadays one of the most popular ways is buying them from the internet shopper's page. Many people collect them from letters, magazines and post offices.. These are the best ways to find old and valuable stamps.

Every month, in many countries, new collections are published, usually based on new events. There is always a large number of buyers, especially in rich countries. Sweden has some of the biggest stamp factories in Europe, which is the biggest stamp centre in the whole world.

If you have read this information, I hope you will start thinking about making your own stamp collection. For those of you who already collect stamps, I hope you will continue your interesting hobby.
