	Youth Stamp Collectors
		Stamp collecting is for anyone, regardless of age, income, nationality, gender, etc. We started this initially (on a dare) as a hobby to get kids interested in something besides video games and running the streets.
		We started doing stamp shows where we set up tables for youth and educators to come in and acquire stamps and materials for school projects and classroom teaching tools as well as for their own collections.
		Stamps and materials are donated, so we in turn provide them to youth and educators without cost.

	What else can stamp collectors collect? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It seems like such a logical assumption, but stamp collecting, also called "philately," a word that implies intense activity and study, has such breadth and scope that stamp collectors can collect a wide variety of items besides postage stamps and still consider themselves stamp collectors.
		Many stamp collectors branch out to collecting envelopes with the stamps and other postal markings still affixed.
		Collectors almost always start in the hobby by collecting stamps, but some are drawn back in time to the pre-stamp era.

		Because the denomination of the stamp 10 zloty face value, is far above any usual postal rate, it is obvious that it was issued purely as a money-making venture.
		As the sheet and the motive of its release are not Polish, American stamp collectors look disparagingly on the issue and refuse to fall into the trap of a nazi scheme to help finance their war.
		However, dealers and collectors agree that if philatelic buying power were concentrated on the purchase of United States stamps, America’s home defense would in some small way be promoted.
