subject: Information About Philatelical Postal Stamps [print this page] I recall that when I was a kid I became attracted to these types of little colorful bits of papers with which my favorite uncle spent years selecting, and reviewing. That was fascinating in my experience, in terms of kid perceptions of colours... so when I matured, I began seriously to deal with it. Today my personal collection is really a ridge full of collections and moreover letters, which I am very proud, but recently I don't have a lot of time for significant attention.
By means of philately you can discover a lot of things, this expands perspectives, common knowledge. Lots of people wonder the reason why, saying that these are just plain pieces of paper. However that isn't the situation. Postage stamp designs are dedicated to some events, organizations, establishments, individuals, flora, and fauna. As a kid through the stamps I've learned about the PEN club, about the land Kiribati, for the kind of the primate aj-aj. Philately is often the preliminary induce for the New Perspectives and moreover interests. Apart from this, there is also a collectors' passion by itself. Many choose to collect stamps from particular countries. Many are in prefer of the thematic collections. In my experience, for example, the most favorite are postage stamps of France and it is hives, along with the postage stamps from Far East. Also, I really like stamps which are thematically related to buildings like castles, architectural structures, etc ... Everyone which I've encountered in American Philatelic Foundation say that absolutely love philately, just like I truly do.
On the period of the online world, letter mails are gradually dying, however philately continues to live through the famous collectors' love in specialized publications with respect to philatelists. All in all, this is a nice pastime, on the subject of which there are lots of tales being said, for example:
Austrian Post is actually 30 June 2008, 41 mins after night time released "quickest postage stamp on the planet!" This is a memorial postage stamp focused on the final game of the Western Soccer Tournament between Germany and Spain - the end of the game 29 June 2008, 22:45. Inside the stamp had been presented the results from the finale, team flags, the famous stadium and also the shooters. Austrian Post "brought down" record on this with regards to the famous "fastest postage stamps on the planet," that "was held" by the Uk post office together with commemorative postage stamp in order to mark the 75th birthday celebration of Elizabeth II, the British Queen. Specifically, in 2001 Uk Postage has released memorial postage stamps sold only 10 hrs and 24 minutes after the Queen Elizabeth II approved the stamps design. I just read on the American Philatelic Foundation web site.
