Cool Space Stamps

When I was a kid the first thing I collected were stamps. The old guys at the nursing home where my mother worked would give her envelopes from all over the world and I would steam off the stamps and add them to this huge album. I even got to a point before age ten when I would actually know what new stamps were being released by Canada Post and made sure I got the best mint ones I could. Only when I discovered comics did my passion for stamps wane. I suspect I liked the stamps for the artwork all along and it was only when that new source of images came along that I could walk away. I still treasure those albums and these space stamps are an example of what would have excited me all those years ago.
