CHARTER:
rec.collecting.stamps is intended to be an international forum for the dissemination of philatelic information and discussion of all things related to philately. Articles posted would include, but not necessarily be limited to:
Techniques for handling, mounting, sorting, keeping, displaying, and cataloging stamps. Advice to beginners. Help in identifying and appraising stamps. Information about new issues. Articles, reprints, and announcements from philatelic societies and clubs. Announcements of stamp shows. Solicitations to exhibit. Philatelic computer clip-art for use in club newsletters. Offers to trade stamps. Private party (non-commercial) offers to buy or sell stamps. A gateway between the stamps list and rec.collecting.stamps might eventually be established.
