# SDVA9 - 1996 Virginia State Duck Stamp
Many states issue their own Duck stamps. In some states, the stamps are purely a collector's item, but in others, the stamps have a similar role in hunting and conservation as Federal Duck Stamps. Some states hold contests to choose the art for their stamps. Collecting Duck stamps is a popular hobby among philatelists, wildlife lovers, birders and anyone else with an interest in conservation. A combination of attractive artwork and the relatively small number of issues makes collecting duck stamps an interesting and accessible hobby. State Duck stamps make a great collection on their own, or a beautiful complement to your existing Federal Duck Stamps.
