Stamp collecting has always been a worldwide hobby, with many collectors choosing to specialize in countries other than their own. Stamp Magazine congratulates the National Postal Museum on doing such a great job of introducing people through its website to thousands of fascinating postage stamp and postal operations stories from around the world.
