My Stamp Collection (I) - Monomad

I have a hobby of collecting stamps. I pursued this hobby when I was in high school. The used stamps that I obtained came from correspondence between my parents and other people. In addition, I obtained stamps by buying them at the post office. However, the hobby of collecting stamps or philately had been empty because of my various activities. I also rarely hunt for stamps. Fortunately, in this era, I can buy used stamps through e-commerce in online stores. Here are some of my stamp collections.

All the stamps above I bought in online stores at cheap prices. But I am a little doubtful of the authenticity of the stamps because the prices are too cheap. Nevertheless, I still collect the stamps because they can increase my personal insight. I include the photos of the stamps above in the #monomad daily challenge curated by @monochromes.

Hello @teukumukhlis.
For collections related content like this you have a better community to post in, as this is not exactly the type of photography we are aiming for here. 🙂

Oh my! I was in the wrong place. Thanks for directing me there ;)
