Did you know : Are you a Philatelist ?

Hello folkes

 

 So you have that beautiful stamp collection, you might even have that very rare stamp, and it makes you very proud, but, can you you call yourself a philatelist?

Now some people go like : " Wait Vi, phithalate what?"

Phi la te list, is the name given to those who study stamps, postal history and other items related. So, if you just collect stamps, i'm sorry to say that,no your not a philatelist, in fact, to be a philatelist you don't even have to own any stamps!

And did you know that there's many different types and ares of stamp study? Going from the stamp design study, paper used, method of printing, aerophilately , postal stationery and even Cinderella philately, which is the study of things that look like stamps but are not!

 

Well, Im not a philatelist myself, but I started a humble collection of stamps last year, what about you? Are you a philatelist? Or just a collector? Any Philipp von Ferrary out there ? Let me know in the comments :)
