I collected some stamps when I was younger and had a Statesman binder. Not a big collection but then I was a teenager more interested in boys. Found a stamp collection (again small) at a garage sale that had a few stamps. Going forward....
I now have a nephew and we are very close but with Covid unable to see each other. He is very good straight A student studying very hard and wants to be an engineer. Well I was trying to think of a good project that would keep him from watching tv and playing computer games so I gave him my collection. Boy that was a hit. I just sent him a batch of stamps I purchased from ebay. We are now sorting and adding to the book via zoom. It is a great way for us to keep in touch and learn about geography and history.
Now I am trying to find out the best way to display.... find new stamps. I thought about joining a club but alas with Covid that is impossible. What is the best way to get stamps?
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to reading the many great posts here.

Hi D welcome to our club. First can I suggest that you edit your post to remove the email address. If anyone needs to contact you it can be done via our message system without exposure to bots and crawlers and spam merchants. It is on your members page which is secure.
Check out our auction/approvals where stamps are cheaper than on commercial sites (plus you are helping other stamp collectors rather than a big corporation that takes it's cut).
Once your nephew decides what he wishes to collect, maybe stamps connected to engineering or tech/inventions, then look for or post a message wanting specific items.
Catalogues can be borrowed from public libraries.
Whatever and however he collects, welcome and enjoy the company. Especially now lockdown has been imposed.
