Philatelist predicts comeback for hobby

‘‘It is a passion that I think would leave me only when I die,’’ said the former navy officer, who started collecting stamps at the age of eight.

‘‘My children do not want to own my collection, but I am sure their children would love to possess them. The craze for philately will certainly stage a comeback after 25 years from now,’’ he said.
