Hi, I'm semi-new to stamp collecting, so bear with me if I don't use the right terminology. I'm still learning.
I recently bought a few stamp lots at an auction, and when I went to pick them up, they turned out to be far larger than the photos showed. I've been having a great time sorting through them and seeing what I've got. Mostly stamps on paper but also not on paper, tons of covers including first day issue, random stamp ephemera, and even letters.
There are a number of bags and envelopes full of stamps that have been organized by the stamps' face value, like the bag will be labeled "10¢". Is there any reason to keep them organized that way? Some bags/envelopes are worldwide stamps, some are all dupes of one specific stamp (usually US in those cases). I can't figure a reason to keep them separated that way. Is there a reason I don't know about?
