Collectible stamps are stamps that people save that are filled away albums to show their other stamp-collecting friends later on.
These stamps are issued by the post-office for a short amount of time with images on them that aren't of the normal.
Some stamps show pictures of old movie stars or animals or pink ribbons. Stamp-collectors can also collect stamps from other countries. Some tell stories using postage material (Thematics or Topical collecting) others are more traditional and attempt to collect countries or areas of the world that they like, such as US or British Middle East or Scandinavia.
