Thread Name: BS: Kids Collecting Postage Stamps
Subject: RE: BS: Kids Collecting Postage Stamps
I didn't know kids were still collecting stamps. I was in a stamp club for years until fairly recently. I think the mean average age of the members was about 62, with only one member being under 40 (and not very much under).
One year we gave packets of stamps to young folks at a community fair, but got no new members.
I think philately is too passive a hobby for kids of this cyber age.
