Collecting as a hobby can be fun as well as educational. A collection can be anything at all, including stamps, cars, money, photographs, postcards, fossils and bottles. A person who collects things is typically called a collector and what they collect depends on their individual interests. Building a collection can be challenging, as well as very rewarding.

Stamp collections are very popular, and people all over the world collect and trade in international stamps. Building your collection from scratch can be very exciting, as you arrange and organise all your things in order and size. Collectors can spend hours researching the origins of their items, learning much in the process. Depending on the items collected, it can be very rewarding to bring together a complete set of a collection, often to find that it is in high demand by another collector somewhere else in the world. For avid collectors, there are hundreds of websites and forums where people can meet and ask questions to other people with the same interests. Collecting can be a great way to meet people as well as learn more about your favourite items.
