I am new to collecting stamps, having stumbled across an old shoe box with about 2000+ "old" stamps cleaning out the basement last month. They belonged to my wife's grandmother. Something she had fancied as a child growing up in Nebraska. She, having pulled It out of an old barn in the 1930s, was the beginning of her collection. Looks as though her love for it dwindled around the 1950s ~passing it to my wife who after age 12 stashed them in an old shoe box and there they have been for the past 20 years.
I have always had a love affair with history and now spend hours and hours pouring over this seeming endless, unsorted, world wide collection. A sucker for an interesting old story and the magic that comes with "owning" antiquity. My hope is to make some method out of this madness of a collection! Most of all, I'm thankful for all of you being here.

Thank you!

Welcome Andrew! Whereabouts in Nebraska did your your grandmother-in-law grow up?
