[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3495620, member: 76194"]Other than fossils and astronomy, which I've shared with you guys before, I just started a collection of World War II stamps and space themed stamps. For WWII stamps I'm basically trying to get a representative sample of the stamp output of the main players: US, UK, USSR, Japan, Italy, and the Third Reich...plus a few stamps from the occupied nations such as France, Czechoslovakia, Greece, China, etc...showing stamps made by the occupying powers and stamps put out by the allies to counter the propaganda of the occupying forces. And as far as space-themed stamps, I've always been a huge space buff and I'm fascinated by the hundreds of stamps depicting space heroes and space missions that have been released by dozens of nations around the world. I used to collect stamps when I was a kid, and it was a fairly fun and cheap hobby (still is far cheaper than coin collecting), so why the heck no? For a dozen bucks a month I can probably get enough stamps to keep me busy researching for half the month, and I can devote the rest of the month to my main hobby, ancient coins.[/QUOTE]
