"Stamp collector" or Philatelist"? Some people think a "philatelist" (fl-LAT-un-list) means someone who is an expert at "stamp collecting." That's not true! But one advantage of using the word "philately" (fl-LAT-un-lee) is that it includes all areas of the hobby -- not just stamps -- such as postal markings, postal history, postal stationery, and the postal items from the time before there were stamps, such as folded letters. 1. the collecting of stamps and other postal matter as a hobby or an investment. 2. the study of postage stamps, revenue stamps, stamped envelopes, postmarks, postal cards, covers, and similar material relating to postal or fiscal history.
