It has been a while, and you came across your old stamp collection, and you were looking it over with your son. As you looked through its pages, and remembered some of what you had once put in there, you began to wonder if any of the stamps had any value. You found it also piqued your interest again, and decided to expand your own collection. At the same time, your son seemed to show an interest, and wants you to show him how to become a postage stamp collector.

So, the first thing you do is decide what equipment you need. You make a list and include the following: stamp book, stamps, stamp hinges, tweezers, a stamp catalog.

Possible themes would be: animals, such as tigers, lions, wild animals, animals of North America, etc.; trains, planes, space program, people, such as movie stars, presidents, Elvis Presley, etc.; or, flags, statue of liberty, etc.; or, just all stamps of the United States.

After a theme has been selected, go online to places such as the Papua New Guinea Stamps for sale https://stampuoso.com/listing/papua-new-guinea webpage, and here you will find many links that deal with just about all aspects of stamp collecting.
