Even his stamp collection was a farce..even though foreign digniteries sent him stamps of their countries..he had no real rare stamps..the only reason his collection realized money at auction was that he was the "owner" !

Part of the attraction to the auction of FDR's stamp collection was that he signed his initials at the bottom of EACH page in his stamp collection.
Like many of us, FDR had an "honest" stamp collection. Maybe it's catalogue value was not much, but we know that FDR's stamp hobby relaxed him through an economic Depression and a World war.
