When you first start collecting stamps, you can buy an up-to-date stamp catalogue. At the beginning, start with some new stamps that have been issued for a relatively short period of time, this kind of stamp issuance is recent, ** is not expensive, the quality is generally good, suitable for entry-level collection. You can also buy some of the more market-recognized grading stamps, against the rating company's scoring standards to observe the physical stamps, with the collection experience is more abundant, and then gradually collect the issuance of a relatively long period of old stamps, so that in the case of postal experience is not very rich, you can avoid a lot of quality problems.
PurchaseNew postYesAt the post officeIt is worth booking and can also be purchased at a premium in the market. When the experience of stamp knowledge is gradually enriched, you can gradually collect old stamps, and the old stamps I mean the stamps issued before 1985. There are many ways to buy old stamps, you can buy them in the mail market, or buy them directly from the online stamp trading platform. StillBuy stamps onlineYou need to choose a large platform like Zhao Yong** for stamp fidelity and conditionThe stamps on these platforms will be attached with high-definition**, stamp introduction, condition description and other detailed information, which is still more convenient.
To solve the problem of purchase channels, I have to work hard. Playing with stamp collection is a manifestation of culture, so before buying old stamps, especially high-end stamps, you mustTo know about this stampdetailed background: For example, whether it is a photocopied version or an engraved version, the adhesive backing situation, etc. If you want to buy high-end factory tickets, you also need to understand the specific situation of the factory tickets, and if you want to buy letter sales tickets or cancellation tickets, you also need to understand the specific age background of those old stamps. It is not difficult to understand this knowledge, and if you spend more time looking at books or searching on the Internet, you will have a lot of fun collecting philately.
Let's talk about how to choose philatelic tools, which can better protect all aspects of your beloved stamps. For stamp lovers, a stamp album is certainly indispensable. You can buy a stamp booklet or a locator book, depending on personal preference. Economic conditions allowcase, you can do it directlyPurchaseGerman Lighthouse BrandUpscaleStamp book, one step at a time. The quality of the German craft stamp album is really not to be said, the stamps in the booklet for more than 20 years are neither yellow, glued nor sticky to the booklet. If the current collection of stamps is not of high value, or have no requirements for the quality of the stamps, the national brand Riffel, Yin's is also not bad.
Other than the stamp albumAlso requiredA pair of high-grade tweezers,Personally, I recommend choosing the German Lighthouse PI52 extended tweezers, this type of tweezers can hold both receipts and sheets, which is the most convenient to use.
It is also necessary to purchase a number of pouches of different sizes to protect the stamps that have not yet been registered. It is advisable to have a larger size than the size of the stamp, so that it will be easier to pick up later。If you buy a mail bag with the same size as the stamp, the stamp will feel very tight in the future, which is quite inconvenient, which I believe many postal friends have deep feelings. Generally speaking, the OPP material mail bag is enough, as for the more high-end paper mail bag, you can choose according to the value of the stamps in your personal collection.
There are many low-grade locator books, and I personally recommend not to use them as much as possible. If you use these low-grade locators, the condition of the stamps is easy to have problems, such as the formation of corrugated stamps, soft folds, etc., especially when the pouch is not covered.
In addition to the use of high-end philatelic supplies as much as possible, the environment for stamp preservation is also very important. A humidity of 45%-60% is more suitable for stamps, so it is necessary to avoid rainy days and sun exposure to enjoy stamps. In addition, whether the stamps are in a booklet, a mailbag or a graded package, be sure to keep them away from kitchens and bathrooms, that is, away from water, stains and fumes. Finally, it is also important to wash your hands before viewing the stamps and that there are no strong smelly objects around the stamps.
