Over the years, I have collected many different items – rocks (unusual and pretty), bugs (a short lived interest as young boy), coins, and stamps (my current interest). My main interest lies in postage and revenue stamps of the United States with a growing interest in stamps from around the world. I particular like stamps that were issued prior to my birth as the new printing methods seem to have lost some of the intricate detail found in the older issues.
What we collect reveals something about us. How we collect reveals even more. Some things are unintentionally collected. These unintentional collections become either a wonderful new adventure, a nuisance or a nemesis.
