Thanks for the videos. I am a new hobbiest as well. I have a question because of my inexperience, I am having difficulty with finding out the reason behind the particular stamps is there a wikipedia like website that we can use to learn more about the history behind stamps? Thanks for taking time to respond. And hello to all fellow collectors
Welcome and thank you! It's a great question. For general information about the history of postage stamps, you might try The Smithsonian: postalmuseum.si.edu/exhibition/the-queen%E2%80%99s-own-postal-reforms-that-transformed-the-mail/the-worlds-first-postage-stamps I'm not sure if a central database exists for the history behind all stamps, but the APS Library may have useful info: stamps.org/services/library Hope this helps!
Thanks so much! This part of the hobby adds so much value for me. I have started the hobby not long after having my first kid and I thought if I can start it then she may follow mom’s footsteps and I am mostly building my collection around that idea. I definitelly have some cartoons to ensure she builds a temptation towards and some from our homeland and the rest more about the important occassions around the world and similar this way I hope she may learn precious information while having a hobby that can keep her occupied for hours… let’s see if I am too naive in my future plans.. but even if she does not I am enjoying it alot gives me enough room for change of mind. Again, thanks for tsking the time. I will start visiting both sides 🙏🏻
