I don't know where this goes so here I go.
I won about 2,000 stamps form off ebay for about $6 shipping added. I am wondering about what should I look for to catalogue first.I would like to start a cover collection and for a good airmail cover where and how should I store it. Where is a good place to sell the many duplicates I have. I heard you have a great buy/sell forum and I would be interested when I have 50 posts. I am originally from China so I am interested in who collects China. I have a total of about 5,000 stamps and I am wondering what is the best free website to catalog the stamps.
Thanks

Do you have access to any sort of catalogues? Perhaps at a local library?

That would be a good place to start.

Separate your stamps by country so that You will know which catalog to consult. In order to find protectors for covers, try google.com and type "stamp collecting supplies" in the search window. If you do find what you want, check the sellers shipping prices before ordering. Some stamp collecting supply companies have great discount prices but they also charge very high shipping costs, so shop around for best deals that include both the product price and shipping.
