To amateurs, the 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta stamp that measures a mere 2.5 cm by 3.2 cm may appear to be like any other ancient postage stamp. However, for philatelists this octagonal scrap of paper that bears an illustration of a three-masted ship is a one-of-a-kind treasure, for which an avid collector recently paid $9.5 million. According to Sotheby's, the One-Cent Magenta is not just the world's most expensive stamp sold at an auction but also its most valuable object by weight and size!

gmanbro10년 이상Can someone please tell me the idea of stamp collecting? It seems useless. The way I see it is that they're just pieces of paper
felicisowl10년 이상Like crystalmori and leap415 said, they're not just pieces of paper... It might be a little frustrating to collect them at first because I mean, you think, "They're just scraps of paper," but as you keep on doing it, it becomes fun. There are sometimes stories behind the rare stamps.. it's like the Colors of the Wind lyric, "Everything has a life, a spirit, and a name." Okay, so stamps might not be a living thing XD but they still can hold a lot of meaning.. Plus, I collect bookmarks.. well, because I guess I love books! And I mean, bookmarks hold a special place in my heart because of that reason and many more personal reasons. It's fun to collect things, and maybe you should try it :)- leap41510년 이상I can tell you what I think about stamp collecting: It means way more than just scraps of paper! Stamps, especially special and rare ones, have a secret story/meaning behind themselves. They also are fun to collect, after some time. You get to see the symbols and little words on the stamp that is worth a lot...to me. Sometimes stamps are really cheap though, but I think that even though some are really cheap, they mean a lot.
crystalmori10년 이상I think it's that way for all collectors. Especially with stamps, you're holding not just a piece of paper, but a piece of history. Some artist's precious thoughts, ideas, and work. A piece of their heart, essentially. Who wouldn't want to collect them?- crystalmori10년 이상Personally, I collect seashells. They are all so unique and amazing, and what's even more amazing is to think that little animals, creatures whose existence may seem so small and inconsequential, still made such beautiful, intricate things. To me, it's a reminder that everything has meaning- even the smallest piece of dust or the hardest of hardships- and that if we believe and try to see this, we can definitely make it through.
