Reaching the End of Collecting Postage Stamps

[cronus]

What will all the stamp collectors do when the last stamp is produced? Will it be like the penny black and worth a fortune as the years hurtle on and gradually the stamp collectors dwindle for lack of newly produced stamps? or will stamps slowly increase in popularity as a anal type collectors dream of increasing rarity? The stone age didn't end for lack of stones and yet stamps in the final years may with time become as valuable as gold by weight?

They will become Atheists.

I recall one naval officer who had an amazing
collection of ladies' garters; he used to lock himself into his stateroom
and examine them-and another one who did exactly the same with a
collection of paper stickers used for postage. Which one was crazy? Or both? Or neither?

More importantly, what will the non-stamp collectors do? It's hard to continue not collecting stamps when there are no stamps not to be collected.

[Rum]

I for one will continue to be a proud non-stamp collector! Bugger the lot of them!

[Mysturji]

And I will continue to not collect ladies' garters.

[mistermack]

I have a unique collection of non-stamps. I'm a legend in the non-stamp collecting world.

I only get my penny-pink out on rare and important occasions.

I continue to send and receive letters.
