Introduction to Stamp CollectingStamp Collecting is by
far the most popular pastime in the world ,enjoyed by all ages and nationalities. The
reasons for collecting are as varied as the people who collect. Some people collect to
learn more about other countries, people, places, plants, animals, etc. Others are
attracted by the works of art. Indeed, many of Irelands and the worlds
greatest artists have their work transferred onto stamps.
Another source of interest for collectors revolves around specific themes. Thematic
collecting is particularly popular with young people and allows them to gather together
stamps on their particular interest i.e. horses, sport, nature... the list is endless.
In our stamp club we learn about many things and find out
interesting things about many people and places. We put our stamps into our stock books
and do projects on our favourite stamps.
