Topical Stamp Collecting is Fun!

As I was reading Topical Time, the bi-monthly magazine of the American Topical Association, I said to myself that I should share this great resource with my readers.

When I first started collecting postage stamps in my youthful days, nothing would have led me to think that this fun activity would become a life long rewarding hobby to cherish with passion!

I have fond memories of those days when I was sitting outside at the picnic table in the backyard, on sunny and non windy day with my stamp album, some hinges, a magnifying glass and envelopes of used worldwide stamps.

What great pleasure it was to discover the people, the flowers, the architecture, the animals, the musical instruments and so many other lively facts depicted on the postage stamps of far away countries, as well as on my own Canadian native land stamps.

I’ve learned a lot about the world we live in through my stamp collecting hobby and still do today!

Topical Time is my favourite resource when it comes to topical stamp collecting. Since I signed up for the membership, it is always with great joy that I pick up my copy inside the mailbox.

Congratulations to the ATA Officers and Board of Directors for making it happen, for more than 69 years now, and to all the authors for such great quality articles, jam packed with stamp collecting ideas, tips, advice, techniques, resources and so much interesting and informative content.

Through the articles, regular features and topical areas, the sum of knowledge delivered in each of the Topical Time issues are priceless.
