I have some duplicates. In fact 3 or 4 different stamps with about 100 each. I hate to burn them. What do you guys do with excess duplicate stamps.

I chunk them in envelopes and put them into my trade box. I keep about four extras of each stamp I have in my book and the rest I save for trade. You never know when someone will want 1000 lib bell stamps ;) |

I save my duplicates for those collectors just starting. When I find out they are needing a certain one or group I'll send it their way. Of course, I'm only talking about the common stamps, mostly stuff since the 1930s.

You have many choices 1 would be the boy scouts another would be the vets, Many churches take in stamps then sell them as kilo-ware. Or what was also said give them to a newbie. a couple of guys here are involved with youth clubs and they be glad to pass them on to the younger collectors. |

I take mine and share with newbies. Matter of fact I got a small mix box a bit ago and have two small packages ready to send out to new collecters next week

I agree with the above,
I keep bulk issues of GB and India
Not only for flyspecking, but creating a page/s of
stamps with differing postmarks that paint a picture of the time
they were issued.
I have 12 pages alone of the lined and solid background GB KG5 issues.
With respect, burning stamps is not an option,
some would consider vandalism.
There is always a use somewhere.

I take my dups to the seniors, boy scouts and nursing homes. I try to spend some time with the people and encourage them to start collecting. If not for themselves...Their kids and grandkids |

Well if we get our new club started. First meeting is 27th of February. I'm sure we will attract some new collectors and I will be able to give them stamps to help them get started. |

We have a group here that creates artwork with them. There's always a good way to pass them along |
