I'll keep this post short and cut to the chase. (Too much assignments to post more than twice a week in high-quantity posts).
Ok as promised, i'm going to describe how i sort my stamps. I will provide images as support at a later time.
Basically, I have several stamp albums, 4 to be exact. Of which the smallest album is empty. For it was originally meant for Singapore stamps, but my collection of Singapore stamps grew so huge that they no longer fit into the tiny stamp album, so i shifted them to a larger album.
Firstly, I sort my stamps based on countries; Singapore stamps take up several pages, then Canada stamps another few pages, Australia stamps yet another few, so on and so forth. After which, taking Singapore stamps as an example : I'd sort them into groups based on themes. Most of the singapore stamps are based on what was the latest happening at that time. For example, there's this group of stamps that show the various places of interest in Singapore. Also, there'd be horoscope based stamps, as well as festival based stamps. Of course not forgetting stamps promoting racial harmony. The racial harmony stamps are one of the best to collect because you'd always have four different colours of stamps that, when placed side by side, either form a bigger whole picture, or a group of complementing colours that appeal to the eyes.
As much as possible, place similar stamps in close proximity to each other so that when exchanges are carried out, you'll be able to locate your stamps with ease and save crucial time for more exchanges. For example, put the festival themed stamps on one page while the racial-themed stamps on another.
Thats all for now. Do check back for the next update on unique and rare stamps that I have collected. (Or at least I feel they're unique and rare). I'm off to exercise.
