HI Defcon,

Welcome to the SCF.

Welcome to the Stamp Community forum, defcon!



We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Welcome Defcon,

Try this site...

But my advice is to keep them and enjoy them yourself. The labor/cost to thoroughly identify and determine the condition of each and every stamp in a collection is just too huge. Then as you learn more, you'll know what is worth what and have a better chance of not getting taken when it comes time to sell some.

im srry I dont plan on collecting I really am in dire need to get rid of this u.s stamp collection in desperate need of funds or I lose everything :( those pics were just 0.2% of the stamps I got will be talking more pics and posting them .. thx guys for the help.

Try finding a local stamp club for opinions, go to the library to determine values in a Scott Catalog, and look at stamp auctions on ebay, stampwants, etc. to see current selling prices.

Welcome DEFCON.

In which city do you reside? Perhaps we can direct you to a local stamp dealer who may be interested in purchasing the collection.

thx im in corning n.y and suggestions?

welcome we look forward to your stamps pics

In your neck of the woods ... New York ... Try Mystic Stamps or Nutmeg stamps for apprasials . The two previous purchase large collections . If your collection is small try finding a stamp collector or local dealer .
