My grandfather died in 1972 and I have owned his stamp collection ever since. Recently I have been looking online for a company or person that can evaluate, create values, and offer suggestions to sell. So, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Guy Hungerford
Now is not the best time to sell stamps. they are not in favor and are not bringing good prices, I just gave an old time collection to a friends son. Roger C.
I have boxes of sheets and took them to a dealer. He said they were made in such high quantity, they are not valuable & I should just use them for postage. It's too difficult to paste 65 one cent stamps on the gas bill. I would give them away if I could but nobody has bit in 20 years of asking around.
I gave mine to a Canadian friend who's son is a stamp collector and a trap shooter. I will contact them and see if they will take them. I will let you know as soon as i find out. Roger C. I will send you a P.M. as soon as I get an ok from them.
They said no. Try taking them to the post office and see if the will trade them for usable stamps for you. Roger C.
I have a collection and don’t know what to do with it. Some of the stamps are from the 40-50 ‘s no one seems interested in things like this now days.
Unless you have one of a couple dozen of the rarest stamps, they are functionally worthless if used, basically sold by the pound at this point. Most companies will not take a bulk collection in to evaluate (or if they do, they're going to be paying by the pound), they'll require to cull the collection yourself and ONLY send them very high value stamps. It simply isn't worth their time to try and sort though thousands of stamps trying to find a literal needle in a haystack. In fact, you can typically buy unused stamps from the last 80ish years for LESS than face value, likely b/c of the pain in the butt Mr Burke referenced in using them.
