A childhood stamp album, still opened once every five years
The madman's guide to stamp collecting
A Wall Street Journal review of a book on stamp collecting drew a nostalgic response on Hacker News. One commenter recalled joining the USPO's 1800STAMPFUN program as a kid, filling a binder with collectable cards and stamps featuring Looney Tunes characters, monster movies, and heroes of the American Revolution and Civil War. The binder survives, and gets opened about once every five years.
I participated in USPO's 1800STAMPFUN as a kid and I loved it. The collectable cards and the unique stamps (looney tunes, monster movies, US Revolutionary and US Civil War heroes), all secured in my USPO stamp collecting binder. I still have it and look at it once every 5 years.
