The purpose of thematic collecting is to document
and illustrate a selected theme, not only with real or virtual stamps, but also with postal
history (including e-mail attachments) and other related "postal" information -
virtually
any available material that can be stored electronically on computer! And the
added beauty of theme stamp collecting is that you can do whatever you like.
It becomes your own personal stamp experience. A sheer fun experience!
CHILDREN




For example you can create a "Family History"
virtual stamp collection, where each family member is allocated a "Birth Stamp"
issued closest to his or her actual date of birth (or all the stamps around
the world that were issued at that time), or stamps bearing the relevant Sign of
the Zodiac, or a birth stone. All other milestones and achievements in an individual's
life may be illustrated with appropriate stamps ... occupations ... sports ... childhood
... places visited ... births and deaths ... likes and dislikes...
important events
... precious moments, whatever! Write-ups in attractive fonts, borders and
color schemes, perhaps
interspersed with the odd strategic photograph, not only serve as a useful living record
or conversation piece but also become virtual heirlooms, with
as many copies available as there are heirs! Virtual stamp collecting makes it all
practically possible.
