With the demise of sending letters, the future of stamp collecting – philately – doesn’t look bright. But due to their small size, and the huge variety of available designs, stamps are one of the easiest things to collect.
Pros:
- Stamps are small and easy to store
- Most stamps are inexpensive
- Most rare stamps gain value
- Diversity: you won’t run out of stamps to collect!
- It’s easy!
- Educational benefits: history, geography & politics
- It’s satisfying building up a collection
Cons:
- You can never ‘finish’ collecting
- It can sometimes be expensive
- Stamps are fragile and easily damaged
