Five Reasons To Start Collecting Bermuda Stamps and/or Bermuda Postal History

The stamps are beautiful and there are not too many post office issues, making collecting attainable.
-
There is as much variety and specialisation as you want. Delve in to the different printings and varieties of specialist issues or just collect one of each.
-
Bermuda is rich in history and that translates to enormously interesting Postal History. Choose from Postcards, Naval, Maritime, Boer War, Censorship from WWI and WWII and more.
-
An active membership and a great deal of literature is available to guide and educate every level of collector.
-
Spend as much or as little as you want. A great collection can be started for a few dollars right the way though to hundreds of thousands for those with deep pockets who want an example of Bermuda’s world famous Perot Postmaster stamp.
