New From British Columbia Canada

Hi everyone.

I started my collection in the 1970s and put it away some time in the mid to late 80's. I virtually haven't touched it since then, but while I was collecting I bought stamps from several companies, so my collection is pretty much worldwide. I have new and used stamps from several countries including U.S. I also purchased individual stamps, pairs and corner blocks and some special editions from Canada.

Now I have to decide whether I should try and pick up where I left off or liquidate my collection.

Any and all suggestions would be welcome.

Welcome to this SC (Stamp Community)khala. If you enjoy stamp collecting, you will not get rid of your stamps.Just North America will keep you busy for a long time.......

Thanks Renden. Funny, I just started looking through some of the stamps that I had acquired while I was actively collecting and I lost myself in the process. There are many things that I must consider, including health issues, the fact that I have no one to bequeath my collection to and wondering how to inventory and appraise it, to consider donating it, and if so, to whom.

I have no idea how to determine any of these things.

I would therefore recommend that you take a few months and go through various pertinent subjects in this Forum and share with others, ask questions etc.

You really have to be in a Hospital bed, and dying, not to be able to enjoy Stamp collecting - and if you have problems with inheritance, leave it to a charitable org. Good luck !

P.S. (post scriptum -latin) If your original post was intended to find a buyer for your collection, there I cannot help you but am sure some more experienced members could direct you to proper channels if you ask the Community.
