Stamp Collecting Becomes A Lucrative Kind Of Hobby NEW YORK ( API-Some 10 mil ! lion American investors are just pursuing a hobby. It's that pas time of both the young and the old, stamp collecting. Perhaps an additional million take a real investor's view. Well chosen stamps have a record of greater yields over the years than most deais in the stock market, are a tried hedge against infla tion, enjoy an international mar ket and are a ready source of funds in a crisis. The stamp collecting world cur rently is being deluged with new issues. Many are from the fledgl ing nations emerging so rapidly and some are aimed more or less frankly at raising revenue from the growing number of collectors in the world. Price (nereis Striking Some of the price increases since World War 11 have been striking. A U.S. airmail stamp col lection bringing $102.81 in 1945 is listed in the 1960 Scott Catalogue, published by Esquire, Inc., as 5282.63. Price rises of as much as 1,400 per cent are recorded in the list. But like ail investments, some are mavericks. And a few have de clined in value, the biggest drop noted being 63 per cent. The sud den appearance on the market of a previously unknown supply can do the trick. Secent stamp auctions here have brought out some high-flying bidding. A rare black Honduras stamp for which the collector paid SH.0U0 in 1956 brought him $24,000 this year. And a one cent Amen ran stamp issued in 1901 for the Pan-American Exposition went un der the hammer for $1,200 one reason for its value was that the picture of a ship ' in Ihe center was printed upside down. Stamp specialists say one copy each of the world's really great rare stamps a nonexistent collec tioncould be carried in a wallet but would be valued at $300,000 at the lowest estimate. Most collectors are out simply for the enjoyment of collecting and take a dim view of treating stamps primarily as an invest ment. But the big rise in prices since the war has caught Use eye of investors. And World War II experiences taught some a lesson. Jlany refu gees were able to take with them stamp collections, relatively com pact and easy to transport. They found a ready market for them to help start life anew in their new homes. With an international market, stamp prices are fairly stable over the short terra, and there are few if any import or export duties on them. Many stamps are commemora tive of special events or of their anniversaries. A deluge of these in recent years has kept the seri ous stamp collector busy. Korean Battlefield Surgical Trick Saves Mother's Life j t"-- 0r.
