    I used to collect stamps

    Ever find one of those upside plane airmail stamps from like 1919? :)
    I have never known anyone who collected stamps but I know its a very
    popular hobby.
    Of course in these days of e-mail I imagine there are fewer collectors
    and stamps.
    Isn't the penny black from the 1840s the rarest of stamps?

    I think it's a great hobby for kids. Cheap, imagination inspiring,
    and something that can be passed on.
