Because to invest in the philately ?

1) The steady and regular increase of collectors’ market in the last 165 years.

2) A market constantly supported by more than 50 million collectors worldwide.

3) The gradual increase of world population and average age. In the year 1840 more or less 1.000.000.000 people inhabited the world, today the number has reached 6.500.000.000. In the year 1840 people’s average life was about 40 years, today on average we can live 80 years.

4) People today have more leisure time.

5) Human nature is biologically inclined to collecting. We collect everything: but the important is to collect rare items with a wide collecting base and high-quality, the only features that can in time increase their commercial value. In so doing, philatelic collecting provides the collector with personal delight and cultural growth, safeguarding in the meantime his/her saving that during the years is never wasted but constantly revalued.

6) In recent years, worldwide more and more frequently philatelic auction takings have exceeded even catalogue estimated prices. Not only trade press but also newspapers carry this kind of news.

7) Important philatelic operators all over the world have recently given rise to a department aimed at philatelic investment also by means of funds and banks’ intermediation.

8) Philatelic rare pieces are products easily concealable, transportable and marketable in all continents. A small album, that with no trouble can be protected in a box of security or a safe, may contain millions of dollars or euro.

9) Rare stamps revaluation rate on average ranges yearly from 5 to 15% (the rate varies according to the collecting nation). What state bonds, shares or other kinds of investments keep for decades trends like these without risks?

10) And finally… the pleasure and the cultural growth that stamp-collecting offer to collectors aren’t they proper investments for leisure time and the mind?
