- Some of the celebrities who collected stamps were Amelia Earhart, Charlie Chaplin, President Franklin D.Roosevelt, John Lennon, Queen Elizabeth, etc. President Franklin D.Roosevelt was so interested in collecting stamps that he even drew sketches of the type of commemorative stamps which he wanted the Postal Service of the United States of America to issue in the future.
- For the French, Wednesday is the day for selling all the old items. The new pieces are introduced on Thursday. So if you are looking for some antique French mirrors then try to shop on a Wednesday.
