The Barrie District Stamp Club

Chapter 73 of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada

Greetings!

Those little pieces of paper called stamps come in various shapes and sizes and indeed are not always made of paper. They are the world’s greatest picture chronicle and a veritable encyclopedia of people, places, and things. All aspects of human endeavour have been portrayed within their dimensions. Within their borders, you will find: art, architecture, animals, flags, monuments, cars, planes, ships, propaganda, landscapes, and much more.

One of the joys of our hobby, is that collections can be tailored to a person’s interests. There is no right way or wrong way to collect stamps. Stamps can be housed in a variety of ways. Collectors may be retired and seeking a new hobby or reviving a hobby they enjoyed as youngsters. Youngsters are discovering something (stamps) their Grandparents knew well and is now considered retro-chic. Collecting can be quite inexpensive; yet bring a life-time of enjoyment and learning to the collector.

Visitors

Visitors Visitors are always welcome at the Barrie District Stamp Club. We provide a relaxed social setting where people can ask questions, receive guidance and socialize with other collectors. Whatever your type of collection or your level of experience you will find someone you can talk to, who may have just what you have been looking for whether a particular stamp or piece of information. Drop by one of our events or
become a member and share your interests and see what we have that interests you!

Appraisals

The club itself does not actively offer stamp appraisals. We do however, have both stamp dealers and some very knowledgeable collectors among our membership.

If you have a collection and require some guidance on it, drop in to one of our meetings for a visit and someone will be happy to sit down and chat with you.
