Stamp collecting is more enjoyable when you can build your skills one small, manageable step at a time. Many collectors—new and experienced—tell us the same thing: they want to learn more, but they don’t want long lectures, complicated instructions, or information overload. The Stamp Skills Series was created to address those concerns. Much of the material in this series is kept at an elementary level so collectors of all experience levels can follow along comfortably. 

This series breaks each topic into four short, practical steps, with a step released by the next club meeting (1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month). Each step focuses on one specific skill you can try immediately, using the stamps and tools you already have. 

After Step 4, the topic is considered complete. At that point:

• The full four‑step topic is moved into the  New Topics  section under Educational Topics and eventually moved to the                 Explore Past Topics on the website. 

• You can view or review previous steps for this skill by clicking  Previous Steps

• The next topic in the series begins with Step 1.

This series is being introduced as a "Pilot Program" in our Educational Topics .   We encourage you to provide feedback to help guide future improvements. 

Please use the feedback form at the bottom of this page and let us know your thoughts.
