“History of bibliophily reaches back to ancient times, while philately came into existence in the second half of the 19th century.”

“A keen coin and stamp collector as well as a dealer in rare stamps and ancient coins, he avers that philately has become a rich-man's hobby.”

“The hero of philately became an immortal, but all he really invented was the idea of the glue on the back.”

“The philatelist had an impressive collection of vintage stamps from around the world, and spent hours meticulously studying their history and design.”

“Mr. G. Sethuraman, an active philatelist who has been collecting stamps since 1974, says this hobby has a high knowledge-gaining potential.”

“A philatelist government that pushes laws favouring stamp collecting at the expense of those who don't collect stamps is a bad government.”

“Philately has undergone a transformation over the years, as young philatelists are more keen on thematic stamps.”

“I just hope that philatelists can now enjoy the collection, especially the rare stamps.”

“Selvedge is the extra blank paper that surrounds a pane of stamps and is considered an art form by philatelists.”
