Building up a Stamp Collection
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Stamp Collecting! Here we hope to provide you
with practical ideas on the best way of starting your own stamp collection. No one is
too young (or too old) to have fun with stamps, so we'll try to answer the questions
that puzzle stamp collectors of all ages.
What is ASTROPHILATELY? - From the beginning of time, humans have looked up
at the heavens and wondered what lay beyond the world that we know.
How to Avoid Common Mistakes as a Stamp Collector - If you collect for fun, you
will have lots of it. But if you collect for profit you will have very little profit or fun.

very launch, landing or mission date of a spacecraft.
Getting Started in Stamp Collecting - Of greatest importance to the stamp collector
is finding a source of collectible postage stamps at little or no cost.

of Russia always offered a specific challenge for stamp collectors outside Socialist
countries.

some of them were because he couldn't read the captions underneath.

truly Thematic one. To do this sub-division is the answer.
Let's Met - The Astro Space Stamp Society is not the only club on the world, and you
might meet friendly and interesting people, new stamps and covers.

difficult to obtain and not the type of item you could buy.
