I Enjoy Stamp Collecting

Just love the simple stark black background and how it makes the colors of the sapphires pop.

How did you get starting collecting stamps?
@TimSummers Back when I was Amish I'd sneak around reading books all the time and got caught a bit too often. So I needed a new something to keep me occupied at night when I couldn't sleep. Started keeping stamps from the mail we'd get and asked for them from people we knew around town. Years later i found the box i kept them in and started an actual collection.

@EllaDisenchanted Have you found there are less and less demand for collecting stamps since email has taken over how we communicate?
@TimSummers There is in the west but a good part of Asia has a growing interest and surge of collectors. China especially and India more often.

@EllaDisenchanted So there must be a high demand for stamps there. Especially older stamps or stamps from the USA that you can't get over seas. That is very interesting. Thank you.
@TimSummers There is a very big demand tho Chinese collectors tend to prefer Chinese, Taiwan and Hong Kong stamps. US and European stamps are getting more popular so I can sometimes trade my extras for theirs which are generally harder to get or more expensive.
