Glad to hear it. So many kids just play the inane computer games. I still save stamps from letters and packages, but have no one to give them to.
When I was a kid, I lived near the state capital office building. The waste paper was dumped in a large recess at an angle in the building, from where it was collected and baled for disposal. Three or four of us went there almost daily and salvaged the stamps, which came from all over. I collected New Mexico (where this was) town postmarks for a while, and got most of them. Still have them in a box somewhere.
