THE ART OF STAMPS!

AN ONLINE POSTAGE
STAMP GALLERY
WITH INTRIGUING STORIES
ON THEIR HISTORY

If you are just starting your postage stamp collection, or if you have inherited a stamp collection from a family member, you will probably at one time, or another find the excitement that is associated with collecting stamps.

Once you delve into the hobby you can discover a vast array of designs and images that can look rather plain and boring to others that are an exceptional work of art.

Many stamps that you can purchase either through a dealer, at auctions, garage sales, or over the internet can be over one hundred years old. It would seem that something of such antiquity would have more of a value then 30 cents, but when they are considered so common with the hundreds of millions that were printed, they just do not hold the same value as a century old automobile, coin, or piece of furniture.

Each stamp has is its own intrinsic value because of the era it was printed in, the purpose the stamp might have been created for and with some incredible designs, the absolute artistry that was drawn into the image.

There are a number of stamps you will undoubtedly look for if you receive a stamp collection from an older family member that had collected stamps for half a century or so, but it is likely that there are more common stamps in the collection, or they have already found the valuable ones and cashed in on the treasure. It is always exciting to keep searching and as time goes on some of those treasures will show up every now and then.


A favorite stamp collecting video series of mine on the internet is called

Exploring Stamps” by Graham Beck

I had the opportunity to correspond with him via email and I am looking forward to future stamp videos he will produce. He researches many facts surrounding the stamps and their place in history. He shares the information in such an entertaining and educational way that it has encouraged me to share some of the
stamps I inherited from my grandfather.

I hope that you will also find the intrigue in the artistry that went into so many of these stamps and I hope it will encourage you to
discover your enthusiasm for stamp collecting.

I would like to introduce you to
