    I have some Super old stamps from all over the World. Anyone looking for anything specific? Mine are probably more rare than? most peoples.

    @IMA60SKID Since 1995 all American stamps have the year of issue printed. Prior to that only some have it. You can occasionally determine the year from the subject matter or the date imprinted in the image. For all others, a? catalog such as what the Philatelic Fulfillment Center sells gives the date of issue for all U. S. stamps. Stamp collecting is a great, fun hobby!

    I commend trying to get younger people into stamps. It is pretty much? dead here in America. Go to stamp shows and it’s nothing but grayhairs (no offense intended). I’m 39 and I’m usually the youngest person there.

    I do have to say, I learned so much about the world from collecting stamps. I knew what languages all the African countries spoke by age 12 just by collecting their stamps. If teachers knew better, they’d realize that it’s an easy way to get kids interested in the world.
