Hi All, I've had people ask me, after giving a casual tour of my collection, where they can go online to learn more about the hobby. I usually direct them to the APS website. Is anyone aware of other websites that are for audiences that know nothing about the hobby but could spark further interest?

For a marvelous and comprehensive review of world wide stamps 1840-1940, try "Big Blue".Maybe even better after you have been collecting for a year or two. Here is a link

The Swedish Tiger is an excellent website dealing with the early issues of the US.

Coastwatcher ... that is a great site. I like the images they have of full sheets - gives idea of where straight edges lurk (originally)!

You don't happen to know the source of stamp valuations do you? Seems way below catalog value (as should be).

I will expand upon canyoneer's question. To what webpage would you send a child, perhaps age 8-10, who wants his or her first introductory lesson on how to start a beginner collection? or a parent of said child?

I like stampworld.com also. It is very helpful to do a search by topic. I've added to my Europa collection thanks to this website.
