To some people, collecting stamps is just about making money … finding that elusive misprint that could sell at auction for millions.<\/p>\n

But for real philatelists, it’s about the joy of gaining knowledge. It’s learning about countries and history, as well as the thrill of the chase to complete a collection.<\/p>\n

The latter are the type of stamp collectors who gathered in the Nanango State High School auditorium on Saturday for the Nanango Stamp Club’s annual Stamp Fair.<\/p>\n

Many of those present make the pilgrimage to the Nanango event every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were three traders in attendance as well as tables set up by 11 stamp clubs from across south-east Queensland.<\/p>\n

Visitors were happily poring over individual stamps, albums, first day covers, collections of post cards and much more.<\/p>\n

Nanango Stamp Club foundation member Joan Orr travelled up from Brisbane – as she does every year – to help out at the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said the club was founded in 1987, and initially met at the Nanango Post Office.<\/p>\n

These days members meet on the third Saturday of the month at the Nanango Services Club from 10:00am.<\/p>\n
