Japanese Stamp Collecting

!: Japanese Stamp Collecting

When it comes to adding some of the most beautiful and collectible stamps to your collection, the stamps of Japan are on the top of every collector's list. With an art and style unmatched, the close attention to detail makes these treasures more of a collection of art than postage. Stamp collecting provides a look and tangible touch into the history of a country. With treasures of the Orient, this touch is never more vibrant.

Oriental stamps are often divided into individual purchases or collection lots of larger size. The individual pieces will be graded on condition and checked for value before the price is set. When choosing to purchase a stamp from Japan for your collection, you will want to ensure the piece fits into your collection and that the authenticity of the stamp has been verified. For the beginning collector, less rare articles and articles in less than perfect condition provide body for the collection. When choosing a certain stamp or set of stamps, you may notice it has been marked for postage. This is taken into consideration when the price of the collectible is set.

Japan postage is often sold as single individuals and as sheets of stamps. The sheet collections include one large sheet of stamps that are left uncut. Individuals, however, will be sold as one per purchase or in lots of more than one collectible. These individuals will often be graded as separate stamps and not as an entire collection. Oriental stamp themes and time periods are all represented in the various forms of stamps.
