Mengetahui tentang Hobby Filaterlis
(Sumber:__.2010. Z-MAGZ Edisi II. Ponorogo: Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 1 Ponorogo.)
Dalam kehidupan modern seperti saat ini, yang serba mencekam setiap orang memerlukan kegiatan rekreatif. Untuk tersedia bermacam-macam kegemaran (hobby) menurut selera, keinginan, bakat dan kepribadian yang tergantung pada factor kemampuan amsing-masing. Kegemaran bisa berbentuk kegiatan fisik, mental atau keduanya misalnya bidang olahraga, kesenian, kerajinan, memelihara bintang atau tanman.
Kegemaran tersebut bisa bersifat sementara dan dapat pula bersifat tetap (lama). Kegemaran yang sifatnya sementara biasanya terjadi di kalangan remaja, karena terbawa oleh arus umum, ikut-ikutan atau pun yang sedang tren. Sedangkan kegemaran yang bersifat tetap, dilakukan terus menerus yang menurut mereka kegemaran itu bisa memberikan manfaat. Hal demikian, bisa kita lihat dikalangan para remaja atau para ibu rumah tangga. Mengoleksi (mengumpulkan) prangko atau filatelis termasuk suatu hobby yang “memberikan manfaat”.
Yang menarik untuk dikumpulkan adalah gambar yang hidup dalam alam imajinasi. Contoh: “Films strip Superman” dijual di toko-toko. Kenapa prangko adalah barang yang menarik untuk kita koleksi? Karena gambar pada prangko membayangkan “dunia sana” yang penuh misteri. Gambar pada prangko saat ini memang bervariasi, berwarna-warni dan indah. Ukuran prangko juga praktis untuk disimpan. Prangko tidak sulit didapat.
Karena sifatnya yang menarik, bermanfaat dan mengasyikkan itu, maka tidak heran, kalau hobby mengoleksi prangko ini menjadi kegemaran internasional. Di Amerika Serikat, 8% penduduknya mengumpulkan prangko. Di Inggris, tercatat lebih dari 10 juta pengumpul prangko (beserta wilayahnya) belum lagi di Negara lainnya. Hampir di setiap kota ada perkumpulan atau klub prangko. Tokoh penting di dunia, kepala Negara, para politisi, seniman, dan pengusaha terkemuka banyak yang suka mengumpulkan prangko, sehingga hobby ini disebut “King of Hobbies and Hobby of the King”.
Filateli dan perkembangannya
Sebagai pendalaman terhadap hobby ini kemudian timbul kemauan untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut hal mengenai prangko dan benda lainnya yang berkaitan dengan prangko. Kegemaran ini dikenal dengan istilah “filateli”. Mereka yang mempunyai hobi ini disebut “filatelis”. Dengna demikian seorang “filatelis” sebenarnya adalah seorang ahli prangko. Seorang pengumpul prangko belum tentu filatelis, kalau belum memiliki pengetahuan dan pengalaman di bidang prangko. Sebaliknya, seorang filatelis belum tentu mengumpulkan prangko atau memiliki koleksi prangko besar. Di samping itu, terapat pula mereka yang profesinya berhubungan dengan pengumpulan prangko, diantaranya para pedagang prangko, juru lelang prangko, kosultan prangko (expert yang meneliti prangko langka). Tapi sekarang ini, sebutan filatelis dipergunakan tidak saja untuk ahli prangko tetapi juga untuk pengumpul prangko.
Filateli berasal dari bahasa Yunani, yang terdiri dari 2 kata, yakni “philos” (yang artinya teman) dan “ateleia” (yang artinya pembebasan). Istilah ini untuk pertama kalinya dipergunakan seseorang berkebangsaan Perancis, bernama Herpin. Kenyataan menunjukkan kalau prangko adalah benda seni yang sangat banyak pengagum dan pengumpulnya di seluruh dunia, hal ini disebabkan karena sifatnya yang internasional, dan dapat dilakukan oleh siapa saja. Bahkan beberapa tokoh dunia serta orang terkemuka menjadikan filatelis sebagai salah satu hobi mereka, misalnya: Raja George V dari Inggris, Presiden Roosevelet dari Amerika Serikat, Raja Alfonso XIII dari Spanyol, Raja Fuad dari Mesir, dan Ratu Marie dari Rumania. Hal yang diselidiki adalah perbedaan dan penyimpangan dalam pencetakan prangko terutama pada waktu percetakan belum sempurna seperti sekarang. Sifat kertas dan perekat prangko pun tidak luput dari penelitian.
Perbedaan kecil pun hanya dapat dilihat dengan kaca pembesar, juga merupakan perbedaan harga yang besar. Perbedaan kertas dan perekat, perbedaan gradasi warna dan gig juga tidak kalah penting. Hal khusus itu tadi bisa membuat prangko langka dan nilai filateli naik.
Filateli dan manfaatnya
Tanpa kita sadari, seorang filateli yang sungguh-sungguh (serius) memperoleh pengetahuan umum yang luas. Gambar pada prangko menyajikan pengetahuan ilmu bumi dan ilmu bangsa-bangsa, sejarah, ekonomi, politik, kebudayaan, dan sebagainya.
Mengumpulkan prangko memerlukan sifat mental tertentu yang sedikit demi sedikit tumbuh dan berkembang pada setiap filatelis, yaitu:
Ø Sifat giat bersemangat, diperlukan dalam berburu prangko baru untuk melengkapi koleksi.
Ø Sifat sabar, perlu dalam menunggu mendapatkan prangko tertentu yang masih “missing” dalam koleksinya.
Ø Sifat tekun, ditunjukkan dalam mengerjakan koleksi berhari-hari, bahkan terkadang jika ingin mendapatkan koleksi yang dapat di banggakan butuh waktu bertahun-tahun.
Ø Sifat teliti, cermat, dan jeli diperlukan dalam menangani setiap prangko. Tindakan yang keliru dapat berakibat fatal karena prangko yang mahal dapat rusak.
Ø Sifat hemat, karena filatelis yang menganggap koleksinya sebagai tabungan atau investasi sudah pasti hemat. Dia tahu prangko mana yang harus segera dibeli, dan mana yang harus tidak dibeli.
Prangko dibedakan meurut sifatnya
Menurut sifatnya, prangko RepublikIndonesia terbagi dalam 4 jenis, yaitu: prangko biasa, prangko peringatan, prangko istimewa, dan prangko amal.
