Know Your Collector Don’t believe the collection is valuable just because of the quantity and age of the stamps. Don’t expect much in terms of value unless the collection was formed by a serious collector (let’s say for the sake of argument that a serious collector is one who spent $50 to $100 per month over many years) rather than a casual collector who might buy current issues at the post office and go to a couple of stamp shows a year....

It is now common language among coin collectors that people talk about having found a “VAM” when the variety they are referring to has not been assigned a VAM Number....

Ratings Defined Ratings are numbers used to represent the playing strength of chess players. Ratings allow players to compare themselves to their peers. Most rating systems are based on the work of Arpad Elo, a physics professor and chess master, who invented the system now named for him.

Money and Currency Money, or currency as it is sometimes called, includes the broader study of money and other types of payment forms that are used to pay off debts or items used in the exchange of goods.
