I just starting looking at stamps again after all this time. And OMG what happened
to prices they're so much less than 15 years ago.
Can anyone explain what happened?
Thanks,
Smitty

    are you kidding! USPS is ready for another increase real soon. when was the last time you sent a letter?
    first became interested in cardboard at the age of three. since then i have collected varying examples of textures, corregation grades, glue types, etc. from all over the world. Finding this site and fellow collectors who are as equally devoted to the phenomenon has brought a whole new point, purpose and meaning to my exsitence.

    stamp collecting was really big in 40's and 50's


    those people died

    not enough new collectors

    dealers holding tons of inventory
    the ones still in business )

    seems pretty active to me, things seem pretty high priced (cumilatively). if your looking for activity try stamporama, lots of cool / intersting info, discussion boards, auctions, trades, etc.

    where are you going to find out your info? online? shows? dealer shops? other collectors?

    this site (CU) is more active for the coin collectors, dont know why. still a great site though, im hooked.

    have phun.
