The Reason Why You Choose The Direction You Did In The Hobby.

Overall cost of stamps I would be collecting.

I chose "Other" - I collect worldwide and can not restrict myself to one area.

Sort of a difficult poll to answer. I started at age 10 after my dad showed me some of the "ropes," including how to soak off stamps from envelopes, in April, 1960. He gave me his 1940 Scott Modern album, the red one, and I sort of took it from there. For a couple years, I think I just collected whatever came into the house on mail, or what he gave me from his "stock," until I got old enough; at age 13; to walk about a mile to a shopping district and a stationary store there that carried stamps.

So, I marked "other."
