What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? my goal is to share the hobby. By sharing, one can teach and learn at the same time.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: stamp collecting is more than just the postage matter. It is the envelope (or cover), the postmark and the letter it contains. I have letters that were written early in the 1860's. It was the time of the civil war. Noting earth shattering news wise in these letters, but it is history that one cannot find in a text book.
