Eventually you will wish to build a truly advancedcollection — one worthy of exhibition in the greatest ofstamp shows. This does not necessarily require a largeoutlay of money. It does require considerable researchto the point where you know as much as — preferablymore than — anyone else about the stamps you collect.
When this time comes in your collecting life, you willhave reached "adulthood." Now there will be no needfor instructions from myself. Indeed you will, in all prob-ability, be able to show the way and we shall follow. But,perhaps, a few words from me will not be amiss toguide you with your first try for an award.
