      A number of years before, the birth of officially sanctioned postage adhesive stamp occurred in Great Britain during the year 1840 followed by the US in 1847. The invention go the stamp as a means of paying for postal services set the basis for a new collecting trend. Nowadays, many of people seems to have collecting stamps as common. The value of stamps not only for personal collection and self-appreciation, but also have the educational value. A stamp is like a historical snapshot, students thought of study it can learns a lot of history and the development about the country. It is because the stamps have describe list of subjects and human achievements-history, art, religion, tradition, geography, animals, plants, medicine, bridges, buildings, and anything else related to life on earth.

As my relatives are stamp collector, so in three years ago, i travel to america with my parents and visit to them. In that time, it is my first time to have the clear concept of the stamp and the knowledge about that. After my relatives introduction, i think that it is interesting and new for me. I know collecting things, from the most common to the most unusual, represents a true passion for many people, irrelevant to age and social class. At that time, i also get my first stamp which i am interesting in it from my relatives.
