Hello!

Just wanted to introduce myself here, I've posted in a few threads and trolled many more over the last few days.

Thanks to everyone who's given me so much help and information over the past few days. I recently acquired my great grandfather's collection (heard this one before?) and was initially looking into selling everything, but as I look into it, I'm finding everything very interesting and am to the point now where I'm more interested in the history of the items than the actual values of everything.

I think I just found a new money pit/hobby to get into.

I received about 5,000 stamps. Each and every one is Pre-1900, from countries from around the world. Barbados to South Africa to India to Japan to Germany and all the way back to the Us and around a few more times.

Sorry for the book, see you all around the boards!

Thanks again and in advance!

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to the SCF.

Fire up your scanner and lets see some pics of those stamps.

Welcome Jeff,

Glad you're enjoying yourself here. If you can post some pics, I'd like to see some of your stamps.

Welcome,
That is a great way to get introduced to stamp collecting, by inheriting a treasured family heirloom. Enjoy, have fun, and ask questions.

Here are a few scans of some pretty interesting stamps/pages I've found so far.

Welcome iil1ill ! Nice stamps.

The Canada large Queen, even though itis damaged, check it for watermarks and varieties. Might still be worth something.

A belated welcome from me.

Typical I suppose, coming from a Londonbus !

Have fun and join in everything.
