What is philately?
It’s the fascinating hobby of collecting and studying postal stamps, often seen as miniature windows into history and culture. Philatelists treasure stamps for their artistic designs, historical significance, and rarity.
This hobby can include collecting by themes, countries, time periods, or even unique errors on stamps. Many see philately as a way to connect with the world and preserve cultural stories. Some stamps, like the Penny Black or the Inverted Jenny, have become legendary treasures among collectors.

Do you have a particular theme or era that you focus on in your collection? Or perhaps a favorite stamp that holds a special place in your heart?
