Singapore Philippines Joint Bridge Issue

The Youth Olympic Games will be held in Singapore in 2010. This set of beautiful stamps depicting the various sports is the Youth Olympic Games stamp set.

Invest in Stamps

I feel so utterly bad... I have not blogged about stamps or updated my stamp collection for the longest time. Apologies to all readers out there as I was going through a job switch and stuff so needed some time to settle down.

Anyway, I read somewhere that a person once spent like $200 decades ago to buy some stamps. Today, the stamps are worth around $20000. Of course, that is due to inflation but it does show that investing in stamps might be a good idea. Not too sure what the market is like for Singapore stamps though.
