Wow......your view of the hobby could not be more different then mine...........Stamps are very easy to collect........"A ton of stuff worth essentially nothing"?....................I guess that depends on how you look at any hobby.................Personally I find Stamps are an amazing "Window of History" into the country your collecting.
My love of history,traveling and geography and my admiration of the USA is fully due to the fact when I was 8 years old my uncle gave me a US Benjamin Franklin stamp and ignited my passion in history,geography and the zest to learn about other countries other then my own.
