To greatly expand my knowledge on stamp collecting as a hobby, within 3 months I will research and collect information on at least 10 different stamps from different countries. I will use books and online resources to research for general information about the stamps and note the valuable, special features about each postage stamp. Additionally, I will attend at least one stamp trading/exchanging meeting every month with local philatelics and will join 1-2 stamp collecting oriented Facebook or chat groups, to network and get feedback with other members.
