Hi, I'm in my 30's,
inherited two small collections, a world collection my great uncle and a US collection from my grandpa. I love the hobby so far and am always learning.
Originally I wanted to just fill in the spots in all of my scott international albums but world collecting became very overwhelming that I've since switched to Japan. I've joined the International Society of Japanese Philately and also just joined the British Society for Japanese Philately.
I also joined the APS, but mostly because I love listening to the podcast "Stamp Show Here Today" and they keep promoting the APS.
