For years this author has passed up stamps. Dismissed them as nothing serious. In all honesty, they seemed boring. It wasn't until I acquired some rare stamps through a trade with a dealer that I started realizing and appreciating the remarkable thing they are. Each one not only tells a history and bears witness to our heritage, but they are perhaps the most widely accessible forms of collectible art: Each stamp is limited in it's edition, and each is unique to it's condition and it's cancellations. All that it takes to strike it rich is to have an oddity that no one else has. Very much detail and work goes into engraving the plates that printed the stamps, so it is no wonder they were always very desirable.
Now, There is a decline in stamp collecting for various reasons. This book explains why this provides a remarkable once in a lifetime opportunity to get started with stamps. How you can get started, and why you should seriously consider them. The author even explains what made him see the light and convert from being only interested in coins and other such non paper collectibles, to becoming heavily involved in stamps! The book offers new insight perhaps even for those already involved, but mainly it attempts to be a starter guide with all the basics a new collector could want to know about. There is a rather large emphasis on the actually opportunity that can be found in stamps.
Get your copy today and find out what you are missing! Or will you ignore opportunity knocking on your door once more? How many opportunities have you regretted missing? Do you really want to pass up another one?
