I have always been a collecting addict. Not just movie memorabilia but stamps at the age of 5, rock collecting, comic books, videos, just to name a few. I gave up trying to get my girls interested in collecting anything and there is some hope for my grandson who was getting a rise out of collecting spider-man trading cards. The hardest thing with collecting stamps today is that everything seems to be either metered or have the same one or two booklet stamps on them. I always loved checking the mail my parents got to see what stamps I could add. Foreign mail is just as bad with most mail being metered there too. Kids collecting comic books got to be more about how much the comic is worth next year than what the story is about. OK, yes, the youth of today have new interests with electronics but hopefully there will be enough new collectors to move things forward and give homes to the collectibles we have been loving over the years.
