Stamp-collecting, once exclusively the (15)_ _ _ _ _ of small boys and an all-consuming (16)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ for the older enthusiast, has now (17)_ _ _ _ _ _ the target of financial speculators. Stamps are both (18)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and negotiable (19)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and have thus (20)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ investors with no knowledge of the subject. However, many of these people have burned their (21)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ as all forms of investment require (22)_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ knowledge.

Surprisingly the first stamp ever issued, the British 1840 Penny Black, is not that much of a rarity and will never have the value of, say, the Mauritius One Penny of 1859\。
