stamp collecting
Accumulating postage memorabilia
Stamp collecting is the hobby of acquiring and organizing postage stamps, typically in albums arranged by country, era, or theme.
Collectors prize rare stamps, printing errors, and historical specimens.
The hobby is also called philately, though that term extends to the broader study of postal history.
My grandfather's stamp collecting began when he found letters in the attic.
