How to Save Stamps

Stamp collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the entire world, with more than 20 million Americans actively involved this hobby. This pastime gives the collector the opportunity to keep and store small pieces of history and souvenirs from around the globe, connecting collectors everywhere. Saving your stamps is half the fun of collecting. You can save stamps in many different ways, but using a 14-ring binder with plastic protectors over the pages has proven itself as one of the safest and most organized ways.
