The World's Hottest Stamp Collecting Sites
Welcome. StampLink is designed to promote philately by leading those
collecting stamps directly to relevant philatelic sites without search engines.
Many excellent stamp collecting sites, including lists of links to various
stamp collecting resources, are on the Internet, so rather than duplicating
those sites, these "Stamp Links" take you directly to the very best
of them. Use this site as a jump-off platform to other philatelic sites on the
Internet. Save one of the StampLink pages with a bookmark in your favorite places now, because you will soon be leaving here and want to
come back when you lose your way, reach a dead end, or just want to find more
links. These links will be updated regularly and additional pages added to
ensure that you quickly find the best the stamp collecting world has to offer
on-line. Click on the SITES button above for a Review of Major Stamp Sites and for links to their home-pages. The World's Hottest Stamp Collecting Sites below by-pass their home-pages and go directly to

Stamp Collecting Basics -
learn about how and what to collect, the condition and handling of postage
stamps, postmarks, stamp albums, soaking stamps,
etc. And at some time you may need to refer to a stamp dictionary
to find out what some of those often-seen terms mean exactly, or maybe you need
to identify the country origin of a stamp. Many
countries no
longer exist. If you've just inherited a collection, get informed through
this beginner's corner.
