Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as overs (envelopes
or packages with stamps on them). It is one of the world’s most popular hobbies, with estimates
of the number of collectors ranking up to 20 million in the United States alone.
Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating (tích luỹ) stamps without worrying about the tiny details,
but the creation of a large or comprehensive (bao hàm) collection generally requires some philatelic
knowledge. This is especially important for those who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.
Stamp collectors are an important sourse of revenue (income) for some small countries who create
limited runs of elaborate (complicated) stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The
stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.
Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken to Philatelic
Investment, Rare stamps are among the most portable of tangible(clear) investments, and are easy to
store. They offer an attractive alternative to art, other collectible investments, and precious metals.
