A young collector asked an old advanced philatelist how he made his collection so advanced and valuable. The old guy had a look at the young nuisance and said, "Well, young man, it was in 1940 when I got a bunch of old letters from an uncle, I soaked off the stamps, dried them and put them in a presentation folder. I spent four days on this, after which I sold the stamps at my school for a cool 4 dollars. "The next morning, I invested those four dollars in some more stamps on paper. I spent the next four days on them and sold them afterwards for 6 dollars. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of 200 dollars. "Then my uncle died and left me his collection worth two million dollars..."

Philately is one of the hobbies that make people exhausted, - economically!	- How did you succeed to build up such a magnificent and outstanding collection? - Well, it's that every time my wife started to argue, I escaped to philately.	- This is a very rare stamp from the 1400 century! - But...there was no postage by this time... - Well, that is what makes this stamp so rare.


Anyway, occupying my self with philately is the best way to rest...
