Everyone owns certain valuables that they love treasuring. Apart from jewellery and expensive objects there are other things that are priceless because of its emotional value. It could be a gift that a special someone has given you or it could be something that you have collected over the years. For a philatelist or a stamp collector, their stamp collection is their most prized possession. It takes several years to build an impressive collection of stamps but it doesn’t take even a moment to spoil or misplace them. That’s the reason why stamp collectors know the importance of taking care of their collectibles using quality stamp collecting accessories. You can categorise stamp collecting supplies into two main groups. Let’s take a look at both these categories today.
Measurement and Analysis:
This type of philatelic supplies comprises of accessories that help collectors in handling, studying and measuring various aspects of a stamp. Tongs can be used to handle delicate stamps in an appropriate manner. A Magnifying glass can be used to study the intricate details of a stamp design while a perforation gauge can be used to measure and identify stamp perforations. There are special Colour Gauges that allow you to classify stamps based on their colour schemes.
Storage and Organisation:
These stamp collecting accessories are basically used to protect stamp collections from unwanted external elements such as dust and moisture. A stamp collection album or stamp stockbooks not only keep your stamps away from dust and moisture, but also help you in organising your collections based on different factors such as country names, themes etc. New stamp stockpages can be added to stamp binders so that you can safeguard your rare stamps dynamically as and when your collection keeps growing.
Non-collectors will never understand the hardships and troubles that a collector goes through while building an interesting set of stamps. They will also never understand what makes a collector pursue their hobby so seriously. If you are a passionate collector, you will pay no heed to people who de-motivate you or put you down. Simply keep believing in what you love doing the most and keep nurturing your collection.
