When I was a Jr. high school student, I bought a packet of Belgium containing 300 different stamps as I ghought I might make some collection. From that packet I found so many faces of King Baldwin 1st that I remember the name even when I'm away from philately for quarter century.
By the way, I'm far from completing a stamp collection of Belgium. I can't even finish classfying the packet. My point of English at school was not so bad, however it is difficult to understand philatelic words of Scott and at that time, all the stamps are listed in monochrome color and only one image shown per series as today. Without friends and advisors collecting foreign countries, it was difficult to make collection those days as we don't have such literatures written in Japanese.
So what can I do today if I were in the same situation in this internet times? I have a chance to write an article of packet collection of Turkey containing 500 different stamps. I'd like to make an article which advices to myself living 30 years ago as a Jr.high school student. It's better for him to have fun in philately with small amount of money and I think such an article is needed in philately today to increase junior collectors.
