You may be a stamp collector if... You just spent $2000 putting in a new attic for the duplicates, then realise it may be too hot in summer, so you move up there so the stamps can stay below in the cool.  |

You might be a stamp collector if fine, very fine and extra fine refers to a piece of paper instead of your girlfriend.

How about ...
... it takes you 15 minutes to open the mail and pay the bills, but another hour to inspect the covers and clip the stamps. |

You may be a stamp collector if you compare all your other discretionary purchases with what stamps you might be able to acquire. |

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

You may be a stamp collector if there are more binders than books on your shelves. |
