Hey all,
I've been collecting for less than five years but it wasn't until recently that I've really narrowed my focus from just amassing stamps to collecting stamps. I enjoy collecting modern postal history covers. Mint stamps are cool and all, but I love slapping these suckers on envelopes and going to town. I usually drive around and find different post offices to mail myself covers--everything from the standard first rate $0.55, to flat rate $1.00, to flat rate with an extra ounce $1.20, etc., etc.,
For me collecting modern postal covers is rewarding because it is active, challenging and also circumvents the annoying process of trying to remove self-adhesives from covers without ruining the cancel.
