Are they mint or used stamps? If they are used you can place them between two sheets of clean paper on a flat surface, and then place a heavy book on them.

DOnt worry Tina. We learn from our experiences. I ruined a lot of unsoakable stamps myself before realizing that they were just that...unsoakable

If you can put the dry, curled mint stamps in mounts and then aplly pressure such as under a stack of heavy books they should press flat. It will take some time but genertally the curl will come out.

It sounds like someone ought to go on a ferret hunt!

I believe this is an SCF first - a ferret stamp critic!
