Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related object such as envelopes or packages with stamps on them. It is one of the world's most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States alone.

Many collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details, but the creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for those who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.
