Getting started as a stamp collector couldn’t be easier! Start your collection by saving stamps from letters, packages, and postcards. Also visit your local Post Office™ facility or search online to purchase older stamps.
To focus your collecting, you might consider choosing a favorite subject as the theme of your collection. Or, you might select a significant time in history or a cause you’re passionate about. Then, start searching for stamps that feature your chosen topic and work on building your collection.
You could also collect stamps by series: For example, you could collect all of the stamps in the Black Heritage® series or in the Music Icons® series.
