Stamps
Is stamp collecting a preserve of the old? I don't collect them but I suspect that this may be a declining hobby due to the advent of electronic mail over the last decade.
Sue Lin, yeah, no prob. Sure, we can chat about other things. Just one thing, my MSN is on almost all the time. My setting is 999 minutes on ACTIVE. So, sometimes, it gives an illusion that I am there all the time! Heheheheh. I can understand the collecting mentality. I used to collect 12-inch records. Vinyl. Depeche Mode, Erasure, Alphaville, etc.
Ole' Wolvie, I know what you mean regarding Magic the Gathering cards. I have a friend who sold a few hundred of his cards for.... GET THIS.... 89K SGD!

Yeah, collecting stamps is definitely a declining hobby. It's a classic.
Thanks for advising me on careers, would like to talk to u about it further on msn... if it is ok with u, add me! bay_bee_tea@hotmail.com
I've tried career counselling, they are all too general. Would prefer to speak to someone actually in the field.
Mind you, I have never worked in the accounting nor finance industry. I was in IT for years. Sure, I have added you. See you online some time.
I have wondered about the allure of collecting things.
Do see this article about European stamp designs on PingMag:

I lurve the STITCHED Austrian stamps!!!
Humans in general are pack rats. We like to collect things, and it is not limited to tangible ones either.
For example, I still collect M:TG lands, and random cards, although I do not know why :D
Thanks for adding me! Doesn't matter, we can chat about other things
Stitched stamps sounds so... sooo nice! Like badges!
And i am a guilty little pack rat too. I can NEVER throw away things. I collect everything
Thanks Kelvin. The Eastern European ones are quite something. The Hungarian and Czech ones. Of course the topper are the Austrian stitched ones! Whoa!
I am utterly astonished.
