Hello
I was left a stamp collection after my uncle passed away. I knew nothing about stamps and I am learning fast. I am just overwhelmed because of the amount of stamps that is in this collection. Thank god he had most of the older stamps organized or I might be in the looney bin by now. I dont even know where to begin, i suppose what i will do is just post some pictures and let them do the talking for me. I would be interested in giving some stamps away in trade for someone helping me do something with these stamps, some of the older ones I would like to keep for my son but I am open to selling most of these stamps to people who would appreciate them. anyway please any advice would be great , or a point in any direction at this point. There are thousands of stamps. Thank You, Jessica.
***I’ve learned most of them are in order according to the Scott System. He numbered them all and theres usually 3 to 4 of the same stamp.
This is just a few pages out of hundreds of pages theres sheets of stamps. help anyone lol?
Your stamps are in Mint (from the pictures) condition and look very nice. Based on what I know, most of these are very common ones (millions have been produced) with little value – face value is there for mint ones 🙂 The ones in dealer cards (Older ones) might have some value but not much – less than $5 – $10 at most. Just enjoy them. If you have any between 1847 (when stamps were introduced) and 1850s – you might be able to find some with decent value. Good Luck.
