Topical Stamp Collecting
Beginning Your Collection

From time to time, you will want a single stamp that dealers only are selling as a set.

• You may purchase set and only use the stamp you want in your collection, disposing of the remainder of the set through sale or swap
• You may wait (and, this requires patience) until you see the single stamp available by itself

When the same design appears on more than one stamp of a set, you may choose to save only a single stamp from that set or all of the stamps with the same design. Remember, what you collect is your choice only.
