    I got into it pretty heavily for a kid.  I even went to stamp conventions.  lol

    I wouldn't worry too much about it being a waste of money.  A few years ago I priced my collection and it was pretty much worthless even though I still had every stamp and had taken great care of it over the years.

    I was not worried about the value of the collection itself whenever my dad sold it off. In fact I can't recall missing it-- it just sort of disappeared one day. -- more about that I wasted money ordering all those stamps -- many of which seemed bogus. It wasn't a ton of money but I would have been so much better off spending that cash on comics instead. I also had a pen pal during this time and the kid was really needy after I sent him some foreign stamps one time -- always asking me to "send him more stamps" - killed the pen pal thing totally as it felt like the only thing they cared about was me forking over more stuff like I owed it to him-- really weird.

    Yeah, a lot of the stamps being pushed on kids back then were worthless right from the start...like all those foreign triangle stamps.  :facepalm:

    I like Nestor Redondo.  Really liked his work on Rima, the Jungle Girl.  Seems like no one ever discusses him.

    There's a thread over in Bronze Age.

    me too. Around the same time I was getting into comics, I found an old box in our attic that was from my grandpa (dad's dad) that had a ton of old stamps, first day issue etc--- it got me into stamp collection. I bought tons more from the back of comic books-- nothing crazy money wise but significant. Later on, I could not find the box, the stamps, nothing. My dad had sold the entire collection off and never had any idea that I was adding to the collection. We talked about it like 10 years ago by chance and he was apologizing not realizing that I had that interest. I only wish I had never found the box or got interested in it - primarily because it ended up being a waste of money (the collection was taken away basically) so why ever bother dumping a single penny into it. Not that I didn't enjoy the hobby during that time-- but in the end, it was wasted time in general.

    If I remember correctly, someone claiming to be his ex or ex girlfriend or something came on here many years back and was going to tell all about his resto and krap on comics. She posted a few times and I think she vanished. Maybe BUTM can find it, or remember her board name. Too bad all this stuff was not archived in a greatest hits thread.

    Her name was either Jan or Jen.  I think there was a number (s) in the id as well.  

    Found it.  :)
