I wonder if anyone still collect stamp as a hobby?. With internet and technology so advance, does anyone bother to take this as a hobby? I used to do when I'm in Primary school and had a few stamp album which I still kept. But now, I hardly get any stamp from other country as not many people still write. All those stamp that come with bills payment request is all preprinted. Does anyone still collect them?

I think my brother used to collect stamps. Not anymore. It's just so hard to see stamps around these days. They're rare, unless you go to the post office and buy, which isn't rare that way. My brother has 4 or 5 albums of them.

Hi Everybody, I have been collecting now for over 22 years, with over 80 000 stamps, I m still as crazy about these little pieces of paper as I was 22 years before. I have lots of exchange partners around the world and still looking for more decent collectors, who can exchange with me Used stamps. No doubt, it is a great hobby.

Like you, I used to collect stamps when I was a teenager, but grew out of it. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who does this anymore, but there must be some people who do.

When I was a child, my brother like collecting stamps, but I often drew some pictures with pencials on his stamps, then he would be very angry, but I don't afraid of him. Now I know I waste too much money, because his stamps are too expensive now. Especially a monkey stamp. Because I like monkeys very much, so I stole the stamp and I lost it. But now my brother still collect stamps, this is his hobby, and I am not interested in it.
