It has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late nineteenth century with the rapid growth of the postal service. Stamp collecting proved to be an almost perfect hobby for collectors because there was a never ending stream of new stamps as each country sought to advertise its distinctiveness through its stamps. Because some stamps became rare, a thriving international trade in stamps was created. While stamp collectors are of all ages, it has been a particularly popular hobby among children, many of whom continued the hobby as adults.
My grandfather's one of hobbies was collecting postal stamps. And he got pretty big collection of postal marks. From years after war and throw Soviet union, and every single of these stamps are with message in it.
