The Stamp Shop

This is a quaint little throwback for the early Boomer Generation. If you were of that group, you probably made balsa wood model airplanes, had a coin collection, and maybe had a stamp collection when you were a kid. These are relatively old hobbies for a different generation. I am not saying nobody does these anymore, just that they aren’t as popular as once. All-​to-​say, The Stamp Shop caters to one of these hobbies.
I have an old stamp collection and recently dug it out of the attic. I decided to reassemble the collection into new stamp albums (available on line at Mystic Stamp Company among other places). In the end I also needed some stamp hinges and looked around for a hobby shop or store that might sell this little inexpensive accessory… but could find little if anything devoted to stamp collecting. Then I ran across this little gem in Indianapolis.
The Stamp Shop is for those that have a stamp collection and are looking to sell theirs or fill in some holes of missing stamps. The Stamp Shop has a large inventory of stamps available for purchase. They also had my little stamp hinges. While they could probably order some stamp albums for you, I did not see any on the shelf when I visited. In fact you won’t see much on the shelf.
The Stamp Shop is not a browsing collection of stamps and accessories. It is more like someone’s office with piles of stamps and stamp books around the room. There is basically nothing to see here… but if you come in and know what you want, I think this is the place to get it. Enjoyed my visit here very much and will be back with a list of items to fill out my old collection. I’ll revise the review when I return and have a better feel for prices.
