Cacti and Succulents on Stamps
Stamp collecting is now as old as the first stamp issued in 1840, and the number of stamp collectors is still growing. If anyone could have known then, how they would increase in value over the years, there would be quite a few more millionaires in the world today.
Unlike plants, they won't need heat or sunshine, nor will they be attacked by mealy bugs, sciara flies, or red spider. They need little space and, kept clean and never handled with greasy fingers, they will continue to increase in value over the years. A good number of them are already very scarce and virtually unobtainable.
Now is the time to bring your collection up-to-date! Many collectors rely on me to supply them against a "Standing Order", so that they receive "New Issues" automatically. Please let me know, if you would like further information about this.
