    Theres lots of things to know about stamp collecting.
Where do I start. Well I'll start with the questions
I am asked most.
    What should I collect?

     You should collect what ever interests you.
Theres no rule that says you have to collect a 
special type of stamp.Interested in sports?
collect stamps that have to do with sports.
    Trains, planes, ships or cars?
Maybe a country interests you.  Maybe your family
is German then collect stamps only from Germany.
 You collect what YOU want to collect.

   I don't have lots of money can I still collect stamps?

Sure : start out collecting US stamps. Have all your friends
save you stamps from their letters.  Or go to the post office
ever few weeks and buy the newest stamps...

   What should I collect singles? plate blocks? sheets?

Again collect what you like, singles cost less than plate blocks
and plate blocks cost less than sheets.
If money is no problem then collect them all, hay  its your collection

I want to try and make money collecting stamps, what stamps
should I buy now that I can sell for lots of money later?

    Good luck ...Most people never make lots of money selling their
stamps.  Now that your collecting stamps, you never know.
Someone may give you an old set they found in the attic, or
maybe a letter and there is that ONE stamp that will make
you rich. and if you had never started collecting, you never would have known.
Don't laugh, it has happened ( just NOT to me)
