How to collect stamps When it comes to the scope of collecting stamps, most people always think that it is collecting stamps. Collecting stamps is collecting stamps, which is a narrow understanding and superficial view of the mansion. For philatelists and people with older stamp collecting experience, stamp collecting is more than just collecting stamps; Stamp collecting and stamp collecting cannot be equated. Especially with the increase of philatelic products, the scope of stamp collecting has become a vast world. To sum up, the scope of stamp collecting can be divided into: stamps, seals, stamps, postal supplies and postal history, stamp collecting souvenirs. Stamps: According to different purposes, stamps can be divided into ordinary stamps, commemorative stamps, special stamps, airmail stamps, unpaid stamps, military stamps, donated stamps, express stamps, manuscript stamps, postal official stamps, registered stamps, acknowledgement stamps, courier delivery stamps, rocket postal stamps, insured stamps, insurance stamps, publicity stamps, holiday stamps, tax donation stamps and telegraph stamps.

Philatelic souvenirs: mainly refers to commemorative cards, commemorative cards, artistic porcelain plates of stamps, commemorative stamps, etc. There are many ways to collect stamps, which can be roughly divided into traditional stamp collecting, thematic stamp collecting and other ways. Traditional stamp collecting: not to mention the whole world, that is, a country, from the first stamp issue, it is very difficult for an old stamp collector to collect all the stamps according to the catalogue of stamps issued. Obviously, it is even more impossible for ordinary stamp collectors to collect stamps in this traditional way. However, if the traditional stamp collecting methods are subdivided, they can be divided into: according to the time sequence of stamps issued by a country or region, stamps of different systems are combined to form a series of stamp collecting, such as people stamps, airmail stamps, and donated stamps; According to the collection and combination of stamps that occurred in a certain period or at a certain time, dating stamps are formed. According to the combination of stamps issued worldwide or in a country or region before 1875, classical stamp collecting was formed. Thematic stamp collecting: Compared with traditional stamp collecting methods, thematic stamp collecting methods are relatively young and have strong vitality. Before the Second World War, the way of special stamp collecting had already appeared. At that time, there was not much interest of stamp collectors, and even after the end of World War II, this stamp collecting method still did not get attention and development. With the passage of time, young stamp collectors have become more and more aware that it is more and more difficult to collect stamp products and organize stamps according to traditional stamp collecting methods, so they have turned to thematic stamp collecting. By means of thematic stamp collecting, stamps with different topics or themes can be specially collected according to the different interests and hobbies of stamp collectors to form a rich and colorful thematic stamp collection or thematic stamp. Other ways to collect stamps: collecting stamps is not just collecting stamps. Collecting stamps to form a stamp collection is a way of collecting stamps. If you don't mainly collect stamps, but mainly collect postmarks, postal supplies, postal historical materials, etc., you can also form a stamp collection and participate in stamp exhibitions. This is an indispensable part of stamp collecting. Take collecting postmarks as an example, it can be combined with stamps to form a special stamp collection, or it can be a separate collection. Necessary tools for collecting stamps You must have your own common tools: tweezers, magnifying glass, tooth measuring ruler, writing tools and reference books for collecting stamps. Tweezers ︰ People often have sweat stains on their hands. Taking stamps by hand is easy to stain the face. Therefore, when sorting and viewing stamps, you must use tweezers. In order not to damage stamps, tweezers for collecting stamps are specially made, with a "duckbill-shaped" tip, which is flat and smooth. In order to keep the tweezers free of rust, stainless steel is better. A good pair of tweezers must have a smooth surface and good elasticity. When holding stamps, the tightness should be straight, not too tight or too loose. Too tight will leave a mark on the stamp, and too loose will make the stamp fall off. Magnifier: Magnifier is the "assistant" to the eyes of stamp collectors. Stamp printing is very delicate, and some stamps of different editions often have subtle differences, and these nuances are sometimes difficult to distinguish with the naked eye alone, so it is necessary to use a magnifying glass. Tooth measuring ruler: Tooth measuring ruler is a necessary tool for measuring the tooth holes of tickets. Tooth measuring ruler is divided into three types: paper, plastic and metal. When purchasing a tooth measuring ruler, you should use a standard ruler to measure whether the number of tooth holes within 2 mm is the same as the number on the tooth measuring ruler. As long as it is the same, it means that the tooth measuring ruler is accurate. There are two ways to express the degree of perforation on the tooth measuring ruler: one is to use black spots, the other is to use lines. When the former measures, put the perforation of the stamp on the black spot of the tooth measuring ruler; When measuring the latter, put the perforation of the stamp on the straight line of the tooth measuring ruler. Then, the perforations on the stamp are aligned with the black spots or straight lines on the measuring ruler and moved up and down, left and right until the perforations on the stamp are completely consistent with those on the measuring ruler. At this time, the perforation degree displayed on the measuring ruler is the perforation degree of the stamp. When using the tooth measuring ruler, pay attention to keep the ruler surface clean, do not wear the scale on the ruler surface, and put it in a bag for storage after use. Writing tools: In order to make stamp collections, stamp collectors often need to write brief text descriptions on the stickers, which requires pens and ink; Sometimes in order to decorate the patch more artistically, it needs stationery such as ruler and drawing board. Philatelic reference book: It includes philatelic dictionary, stamp catalogue, philatelic picture book, philatelic publications, etc. By using these reference books, we can find out the types, names, issuing time and printed materials of stamps, which can improve the appreciation and research level of stamp collectors.
