Why Collect Stamps?
Most individuals collect for relaxation and enjoyment although many secretly hope
that they will discover a rare and elusive stamp that will make them wealthy.
Some individuals collect as an investment. While the American Philatelic Society
does not promote this, stamp collecting is a better investment than many other
hobbies. As stamps are miniature works of art, it's nearly impossible to collect
them without gaining a large amount of knowledge. Stamps also usually provide a
much greater return on your investment than other hobbies. While you might not
