I have an advert somewhere in the ether,
Reads something like "willing to swap up to 5000, the ripped and torn and abused OK, ephemera, revenues, catalogues whatever, send me your junk, no "want lists"
So a few days ago, 5000 arrived in a satchel

I panicked, they were all, you know, definitives, well worn, India, Hungary, etc
No message with email addy.
So I wrote snail mail, explaining I had the majority of the stamps already,
and should I send back?
Turns out, a collector just like me, with 60 albums, worlwide.
"Just pick out what you want, and give the rest away"
I have sent some nice stamps to him , and after going through the mountain of stamps
I'll give them away here.

Suitable for beginners.
