Stamps

Posts tagged Stamps come from one of my oldest hobbies: stamp collecting. Over the years I gathered more than a hundred thousand stamps, carefully sorted and preserved, even though the collection was never worth much in market terms.

Collecting stamps is a quiet, satisfying discipline. Each one is a small window onto history and geography, and the act of organizing them scratches the same itch that has always driven me to understand a subject completely.

These posts are about that hobby and what the collecting mind reveals about the collector.
