Ever since then, stamps have delighted the minds and hearts of collectors looking to preserve bits of history, culture and special moments frozen in time that have come to define our national identity. As it happens, stamps have come to feature superheroes, music stars, landscapes and more, catering to a wide pool of interests. If you\u2019re new to the world of stamp collecting, you might wonder how to maintain the quality of your collectibles. To help you get started on this wonderful journey, we\u2019ve put together a guide to caring for and storing your stamp collection below:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-handle-stamps-to-best-preserve-them\"><\/span>How to handle stamps to best preserve them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that touching your stamp bare-handed can damage them? That\u2019s because fingertips secrete oils that can have this effect on your stamp collection. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to handle your stamps correctly with the correct tools. Here are some stamp collection care essentials you might need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Handling gloves<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides tongs, lint-free cotton gloves also help to protect your stamps from oil and moisture being transferred from your hands onto your collectible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Magnifying glass<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This tool allows you to closely examine stamps and check their condition. You can use it when you take stamps from storage to check for any potential damage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Watermark detector fluid<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is an old-fashioned method to help reveal the watermark on your stamp. You\u2019ll need a watermark tray and the watermark fluid to help make the watermark on your stamp visible again.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Perforation gauge<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re a serious stamp collector, you can\u2019t do without a perforation gauge. It\u2019s a useful tool helping to differentiate between two stamps that otherwise, look identical. It measures the number of holes within a small-scale range on the edge of a stamp \u2013 also called a \u201cgauge\u201d. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philatelicfoundation.org\/educational-resources\/research-articles\/reperforation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United States Specialist Gauge<\/a> is the best one available for US-issued stamps. If your philatelic passion extends to overseas stamps, you might want to turn to the Gibbons Instanta gauge, widely used in the UK and Australia.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Color guide<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is it, and why would you need it? It\u2019s a sort of catalog keeping track of the various colors your stamp can come in. It\u2019s important to correctly identify the colors for your stamps to help you \u201cID\u201d a stamp. You can consider the \u201cG&amp;K Wonder Color Guide,\u201d which features 140 colors associated with US stamps.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Storage \u201ccases\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will also need to decide on a storage case for your stamps, whether it\u2019s albums or another type of storage method.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stamp tongs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stamp tongs are an essential for any stamp collector as it prevents you from directly touching your precious collectibles. You\u2019re better off with spade-end tongs as opposed to the pointed ones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Close-up-of-pincers-with-old-USA-postage-stamp.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Close-up of pincers with old USA postage stamp\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Close-up-of-pincers-with-old-USA-postage-stamp.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Close-up-of-pincers-with-old-USA-postage-stamp.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Close-up-of-pincers-with-old-USA-postage-stamp.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having the right tools and supplies to handle and care for your stamps, you\u2019re prolonging the life of your stamp collection so that you can enjoy it longer. But correctly handling your stamps is just one step to get there. It also helps you to know which conditions can deteriorate your stamps, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Humidity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Humidity is one of the main environmental conditions to look out for when it comes to your stamps. High humidity can cause stamps to warp and can foster mold and mildew growth. Consequently, the value of your collection can be impacted. You can use a dehumidifier if you have the room to keep humidity between 35% and 55%, which is ideal for stamp storage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Temperature<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Extreme temperature \u2013 whether high or low \u2013 as well as temperature fluctuations can also negatively affect your stamps. Many materials, including paper, expand and contract under such conditions. To prevent any of these mishaps, ideal temperatures for stamp storage are between 65\u00b0 F and 72\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sunlight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Exposing stamps to sunlight is no different than letting your furniture or artwork sit in the sun. Cracking, color changing, fading and yellowing can occur. To prevent any of these occurrences, keeping your collection in the dark is the best way to go about it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Stamp-Collecting.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Stamp Collecting\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Stamp-Collecting.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Stamp-Collecting.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/12\/Stamp-Collecting.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-store-stamps\"><\/span>Where to store stamps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a sizeable stamp collection or you\u2019re just starting out, it\u2019s important for it to have a home.

Avoid keeping your collection in the attic or the garage, where it\u2019s more difficult to control humidity and temperature.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn-to-a-climate-controlled-storage-unit-for-ideal-stamp-preservation\"><\/span>Turn to a climate-controlled storage unit for ideal stamp preservation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your collection at home might be more challenging if you live in a smaller home or if you don\u2019t have enough room to store them in the areas of your home that have AC.
