Good for you. My name is David Barban. I started collecting stamps in France in 1972 (age 8) where I lived until the age of 16. I then went to the U.S.A. for 12 years (until 1992), collected there. My mother was born in Israel. I now live here since her death. I still collect at the age of 53. . I unfortunately don't have my firsts collections. I now live in Israel where I have 29 albums. I don't have scare stamps to show in exhibitions, but I do go buy and sell from time to time. Great video.. David Barban

Do you collect mint or used?

[@IIoveasl10]

I collect both, but it also depends which countries you are talking of. David

I do have a specialist collection of Australian stamps, there are scarce and very rare stamps in the collection where a few cost me $1750 each and nearly $3,000 for another, the majority of very scarce stamps I paid for range from $450-$875 each.

By the way, I now collect Hong-Kong and China. (whatever I can afford, but I do have some stamps of these countries. I started these collections in 1997.)
