Hello From The Pnw - The "Gray Coast"

Hi -

When I was 8, great grannie died and left me her stamp collection. I have actually thoroughly enjoyed using it over the years. We have addressed all manner of wedding invitations, shower invites, everyday fun letters with the stamps. Friends always say they love seeing what will be coming next in the mail from me.

Not so easy to use has been her Minkus sheets from the mostly 1950's with a few 1960 supplements.

I love to research but am struggling to figure out the best way to sell these. They are mostly half full, US and International. I have sold a lot on ebay through the years. Although I only have ratings for 650 items, many were multiples sales or people didn't leave feedback, so I would guess it is closer to 1500.

I have weathered scammers, late payers, liars, but mostly GREAT people. I have a few repeat buyers who always look for my items. I mainly sell craft items and rubber stamps.

I will be on the boards to gain some knowledge as to how to best go about selling the Minkus pages. I am keeping the lovely unused stamps that aren't mounted and were in glassine envelopes for my personal use. They bring me great joy and remind me of her spunky nature.

Where is PNW ???, another acronym I can't decipher...........and the gray coast !

PNW = the Pacific Northwest(Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) states of the United State.

The Gray Coast refers to our wet, cloudy skies for 8-9 months of the year. The "sunny" season is mid-June through mid-to late September.

Liquid sunshine.

Thanks uboatnut.....PNW.....my first time with this US acronym....one more for the list !
