Collecting Postage Stamps
This is probably why many people collect stamps, because of the meaning behind some of them. The hobby of collecting stamps can be a passion, or something that started when someone found one that had some kind of momentous value to it. After all, this kind of value would be enough for anyone to keep it.
It is like paintings or portraits in their own way, celebrating past lives or current trends with a tiny piece of art, and what better way to keep and share the art than by collecting as many pieces as you can and putting them in a book of some kind. Many people who really could care less about what is printed on an address stamp might think collecting them is simply a waste of time, and for some people it just might be.
