Philatelic investment
Investment in postage stamps / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philatelic investment is investment in collectible postage stamps for the purpose of realizing a profit. Philatelic investment was popular during the 1970s but then fell out of favour following a speculative bubble and prices of rare stamps took many years to recover.[1]
