Stamp collecting is one of the world's most popular hobbies. It is more popular than playing chess. Millions of people, adults as well as boys and girls, collect stamps. Why is it such a popular hobby ? There are probably a number of reasons for this. Firstly, every country in the world issues its own stamps. They are, therefore, easy to obtain. It is possible to get used stamps from letters : these cost nothing. Alternatively, you can exchange them with friends. It is also possible to buy them quite cheaply from stamp dealers. The attraction of stamps is that they are small, easy to keep, colourful, and informative.
