I started collecting in the 60's to earn the Boy Scout merit badge and got hooked. This lasted for about 10 years until life got in the way. I started with the Coronet World Album set and an Austria album from Minkus.
With getting close to retirement and wanting something to do, I dug my collection out of storage three years ago. I've started moving everything from the old (literally falling apart) albums into new ones and / or stock sheets.
Looking forward to learning what I can from all y'all.
I think you'll find stamp collecting is more fun than ever with the wealth of information on the Internet as well as great forums like this one. Glad to see you're back in the game!
Hi there. I, too, got back into stamp collecting after rediscovering my childhood album, which I inherited from my mother. I concur with Ursa – much more fun to collect in the digital era with all the resources available online.
My first album was the Coronet Deluxe World album too; I still have it.Like you, I'm getting back into the hobby after work, schooling, raising a family, etc. etc. took priority. I'm looking forward to learning more about stamps.
