William, my former editor is a stamp collector. He is into buy and sell of stamps and other collectible items online. I remember him trading or buying rare stamps when we’re still officemates.

From his site (pogiforlife.com), I learned about various kinds of stamps. There are the world’s famous stamps, the most expensive stamps, kids’ favorite Hello Kitty and Doraemon stamps, and various anime characters. And don’t be surprised, even Pinoy’s favorite heroine Darna and other characters given life by director Carlo Caparas through his comics stories were available in souvenir stamps.

While William is into this kind of business, I wonder if he ever thinks of adding gold coins to his collections. Will he buy gold online? I read somewhere that gold is a good investment because it protects ones money from currency devaluation. I’ll ask William about it next time.
