Collect What You Like and Stay Within Budget

As part of Linn's Refresher Course series on stamp collecting, Janet Klug has written a piece called Set Limits to Collect What You Like and Stay Within Budget

Janet writes, "Never be discouraged because you cannot afford to collect the things you really want for your collection. In all honesty, few of us can afford all of the things we want. With a little creativity and willingness to compromise, you can find alternatives that will maximize the joy of stamp collecting."

She relates how she has found many items for her collection that are both interesting and inexpensive.

Shown above is one of those items, Republic of Hawaii $1 dark blue King Kamehameha I stamp (Scott R11), which she says is within the affordable range for most collectors.
