They sell some special stamps sought after by collectors. They actually have more on their official site than at any post office. Look on USPS site to see all.
If you are looking for information on collecting, the USPS has a great book that shows all of the US stamps with estimated prices as well as a lot of information on collecting.
If you want an album, you would be better to look at what dealers have. Scotts has many albums.
Stamps come in various forms mint (not used postally or any other way) mounted mint (when a person mounts the stamp on a hinge to store as part of a collection) or used through the post office. When a person generally a collector buys a stamp from a philatelic bureau he may ask for the stamp to be CTO (cancelled to order). So the post office will actually cancel the stamp with a post office cancel. This is done for two reasons a collector will collect stamps in this manner or they will collect the specific post office cancel. When the stamp is cancelled it will not be able to be used postally. Hope this helps
