Change is Coming

On thing that our great members comment on regularly is that we are.. well "different" from other boards. Some think this is a bad thing because we are NOT absolute freaks over the catalog value of a stamp (oh my yes i really said it), some think that is a bad thing because we "don't take the hobby seriously" (uhhh doesn't that imply that you are SUCKING THE LIFE out of your hobby?).

We feel strongly that this adventure should be FUN and as such so should the discussion of this stamp collecting endeavor.

Of course we talk about value at times and of course we want to chase that "golden ticket" but more importantly we want to share this adventure with like minded people.

We want to inspire future generations, we want to hear a story and tell one to others.

Come share that with us.. Stamp Bears is the FORUM of stamp collectors From stamp collectors to stamp collectors.
