Too Many Stamps

So I bought a 5 pound US mix however it was more of the same stamps over and over and over again. I guess I will have to sort through these and start giving them out. They are mostly from the past 10 years. I know one thing I'm not going to be taking these all off the paper.

Just imagine if you'd bought the 25 pounder I saw advertised the other day!

Well so far I have over 500 of the current non profit stamps with the trees and ocean, blue & orange.

it does seem like too much when you get such a large amount of stamps.
i had to stop looking at my kilo.
it is fun but it drives your eyes a little crazy

keep looking for the coils with plate numbers.

Hey MK

When you're done sorting I'll take some of those soakers off your hands I have quite a few holes from the last 10 years. I still have lots of spares from just about everywhere to trade with.

Geez Dan you trying to move into my supply of worldwide stamps?

Hey if any of you guys have plenty of extras in U.S. 1990 - current department I would be interested in some. I have most of my spaces from 30's to late 60's and 70's filled but my 80's are thin and 90's to current are few and far between. If the pages for my 90's up to current where a cave there would be one heck of an echo echo echo echo.

Its nice to see that it can be done.
My US collection is only just starting to take shape, in fact I will be banging triggers door in 30 mins to start putting it together.
I know I have a lot of doubles but there is no way yet to easily check what I do and don't have.
Hopefully in a couple of nights we will have it done and then we can see the holes.

At the least you will have plenty of stamps to find those 6 different varieties for the 5 cent nonprofit sea coast. You will probably need some tylenol after sorting through all those stamps!

I know the feeling. I purchased a 20# lot from a member of our Club along with several others purchasing similar lots. The lot was primarily Peru and Spain definitives from the late classic era. I was initially intimidated by the thought of soaking all the stamps but I did it. It took about two years to get it done and I was the only one to do it. I'm not sure I would do it again but I did recover a couple of gems that I would probably have missed otherwise.

I just did it too. I won 5 lbs. on ebay and the guy sent 6 lbs. A lot of dupslicates on some. Will have a lot to give away in the near future. But it is fun sorting. I haven't done that in years.

Just over 2 1/2 kilos it sounds like you will need plenty of free time otherwise you will be there forever,I've just received 200g bag myself and still haven't tackled it as yet just looking at this bag and imagining it ten times bigger wow what a job so good luck

If those soakers are still up for grabs I will buy some as I doubt I have anything you would like in trade
Let me know

Where did you purchase stamps by the pound?

Thanks
