YOU CAN DECIDE TO COLLECT USED STAMPS OR MINT STAMPS.

MINT OF COURSE ARE THE ONES YOU BUY FROM THE POST OFFICE OR POSTAL AGENCY OR LUCKILY YOU MAY HAVE THEM GIVEN TO YOU.

USED STAMPS ARE USUALLY CHEEPEST AS MINT CAN START TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE.ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU START TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR GOING TO STORE THEM/ IE: PROTECTIVE COVERS

YOU CAN BUY A PACK OF LICKABLE PRE FOLDED HINGES FOR THE USED ONES BECAUSE ALL YOU NEED ARE BLANK PAGES TO STICK THEM DOWN. YOU CAN ALSO BUY AN ALBUM AND SUPLEMENT PAGES WHICH COME OUT EACH YEAR.

YOU CAN ALSO BUY FOR MINT STAMPS STAMP MOUNTS EITHER CLEAR OR BLACK IN COLOR AND YOUR STAMP GETS NEETLY TUCKED AWAY AND PROTECTED IN ITS  MOUNT AND THEN YOU APPLY A LITTLE LICKING TO THE BACK TOP OF THE MOUNT AND PLACE IT INTO YOUR ALBUM OR BINDER.
