Stamps for Phil
2 days left Coldplayers! I looked up a little info on Stamp Collecting so we are in the know! From 2 Click Stamps: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><table style="border: 0px solid ; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td><table style="border: 0px solid ; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> What is a Stamp Collector? </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: bottom;" colspan="3"> Know what is the proper name for a stamp collector and what does a philatelist collect </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 100%; height: 130px ! important;"> A stamp collector is a hobbyist who takes pleasure in collecting postage stamps. Today, stamp collecting and philately are used interchangeably. That is why the other name for a stamp collector is called a philatelist. But strictly speaking, a philatelist studies and specializes in postage stamp identification. You can still be called a philatelist even if you do not own a stamp collection. On the other hand, stamp collectors or stamp hobbyists only want to acquire stamps solely for pastime. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 250px; height: 250px ! important;"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <table style="border: 0px solid ; float: left; width: 300px; height: 250px ! important;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;" colspan="3"> <ins style="display:inline-table;border:none;height:250px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:300px;background-color:transparent"><ins id="aswift_2_anchor" style="display:block;border:none;height:250px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:300px;background-color:transparent"></ins></ins> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Most famous stamp collectors are a combination of both as stamp enthusiasts and as serious philatelists. When someone collects postal stamps to the extreme, it is called philatomania. For example, a philatomaniac may collect old postage stamps and make it into a collage. What is the origin of the word philatelist? The word philately was coined by a French stamp hobbyist named Georges Herpin. He combined two Greek words: philos, meaning “love of”, and atelia, meaning “exemption from postal taxes” to form the Anglicized term philately. Long time ago, the letter’s addressee or receiver was obligated to pay for the mail. Since the postal service rates were high, people declined receiving mails. Luckily, the British thought of a clever way to let the recipient know that his or her letter was already taxed at the local post office. Hence, the first postage stamps were made. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <table style="border: 0px solid ; float: right; width: 250px; height: 250px ! important;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 250px; height: 250px ! important;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> What is the proper name for a stamp collector? Before the word philatelist became the universally-accepted term for a stamp collector or any postal item enthusiast, many stamp collector names emerged before the 1860s. A stamp collector was then called a timbromanist since the old name for the art of stamp collecting was timbrophily, which was often used synonymously with timbrology and timbromania. However, many stamp collectors found the name unpleasant. Eventually, they adapted new term philatelist. </td></tr></tbody></table>
