CHILDISH ! It’s only for children under 12 years old.
I definitely not agree with that statement. This hobby is for all, no matter how old are they.
This is among the cheapest and the most popular hobby in the world. You can collect stamps just from your house.
Why Collecting Stamps ?
1) Its fun, low cost and exciting hobby.
2) Education. Motive stamps such as flowers, animals, vehicles and buildings usually can be use as educational tools to educate our kids
3) Historical value. Stamps usually used to captured our nations historical moments
4) To generate revenue or investment.
How to Start & Increase Your Collection ?
1) Buy equipment to start the collection. You only need the stamps album. That’s all, at least for beginner.
2) Declare your hobby. Your family and friends will support you in multiple way later as time arise.
3) Be membership of your local philately club at your nearest post office. Normally all national post office have their own philately club to cater their members. The joining fee also quite reasonable. Example of philately club as below :-
4) Plan your collection. Try to start with simple collection target. Example limit your collection by your own country, or by motive (animals, buildings, flowers, etc..).
5) Buy direct from post office. You can purchase any stamps you like. Normally without any chop to remarks that the stamps has been used; or ‘Fresh’ stamps.. However, you can request your local postmaster to chop the stamps to cancelled the ’Fresh’ stamps and make its ’used’ stamps. Used stamps normally has more value that ’fresh’ stamps.
6) Buy from source county. If you’re going to collect stamps from Malaysia, it’s advisable to get the stamps directly from Malaysia.
