Hello all!!

My name is Seth, I'm really not into stamps but I found a book of 15 cent oliver wendell holmes stamps, book of 24, was wondering how much they're worth? Maybe this isn't the right place to post this question, so can somebody help a bother out.

Thanks.

So I looked at the book again, and I only have 16 stamps still stuck in the book, and 3 that are out of the book, any idea on the value.

Dang, my dad recently bought an old house, and were sifting through all the old stuff in the attic. I also found 20 stamps that say "Singapore" on them , it has 1st on the bottom right, and a pink flower on them. Any idea on the value?

I'm not sure they're even a few pennies over face. I'm currently buying 'postage' from a dealer at 85% face.

Seth:

Welcome. I think you might have the wrong idea about stamps found in the attic. Finding a "treasure" of valuable stamps is less likely than finding a Kristin Stewart in your attic.

On the other hand, stamp collecting is an inexpensive and interesting hobby -- you could use the stamps you've found to begin a journey that will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment.

Read some of the threads here, stick around for a while, and give stamps a chance to impress you.

Seth,
this is a sign from the other side,
you have been chosen.
You need to go out and purchase a stock book, a pair of tongs and some hinges.
