Stamp collecting has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. The first postage stamps were issued in the United Kingdom in 1840, and soon after, collectors began to seek out these small pieces of paper. Over time, the hobby grew in popularity, and collectors began to organize and categorize their stamps. The first stamp catalogues were published in the late 19th century, providing collectors with a reference guide to identify and value their stamps.
