The 1st US Postage Stamps were issued in 1847.

I have been a stamp collector since 1958. I collect Winter Olympic stamps as well as the stamps of the US (pre-1933), Canada, Newfoundland, Macao, New Caledonia, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.

I also collect stamps that have "No Value Indicated" or "Alphabet" stamps such as the "A,B,C,D,E,F, & G" stamps of the USA.

Another interest is TASCO Information Booklets

Finally, I have begun to collecting Millionaire Stamps. These are stamps with a face value in the local currency of more than 1,000,000.
