Getting Acquainted With Collecting

Stamp collecting is an ongoing process that can actually take up all of your time! I have a stamp from Canada of Queen Victoria 3 cents (red colour) that I recorded as being issued 1 April 1868, however after using the magnifying glass more carefully and checking out the corners, I found the stamp is an issue from January 1870. I am amazed at the tiny differences that appear. It is a most wonderful advenuture I have undertaken and enjoy every minute I can spare sorting out the stamps. A word of thanks to the members that have given support; it is greatly appreciated.

Hi Honeydo anybody can go to the post office and purchase new issues take them home and never look at them again.
I takes a real collector to appreciate the ongoing opportunities of continual learning that this hobby has to offer.
It doesn't matter what country or field the options for study of variants and varieties are endless.
All the best with your adventure
