Yesterday, we went over a possible advantage of stamp collecting
over other forms of investing. Today we’ll extend that coverage and go over
other reasons why stamp collecting might be an interesting addition to an
investment portfolio.
When a first class forever stamp is purchased, the value
will not decrease. It can be used to mail a letter from one end of the county
to the other for as long as the Postal Service exists.
Another benefit to stamp collection is the ability to share
the miniature works of art with others. The vibrant colors and rich history of
stamps can be enjoyed with children, friends and family. They can be traded
with other stamp collectors, given as gifts, or kept as family heirlooms.
Stamps can be framed and mounted on the wall, inserted into albums for
portability, or placed on an envelope and mailed to Aunt Matilda in Maryland for her
birthday.
The next time anyone is looking for an opportunity to invest
in the future while looking to have a little fun in the process, suggest stamp
collecting. It’s an affordable way to own a piece of history, mail an envelope,
and perhaps even create a little value in the process.
