Hi Guys,

My names Dave and I have just taken possession of a stamp collection my grandmother started collecting for me a while ago and have stamps back to the late 1860's. She did the Scott Minute Man United States and United Nations album Looks like from 1968 and was wondering if anyone knows if there are any gems in this album? I've tried google and its very confusing for someone who doesn't understand this whole thing. I know I can get them appraised, but I have heard that costs super $. Where could I go to find out?

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would rock, if not thanks for reading

Welcome,
These type collections may contain valuable stamps but odds are that most do not. If desired, you can try scanning some of the older stamps a few at a time and post the images in the US Classic Stamps section of this forum. There are plenty of experienced folks here who will be able to understand the scope of the album and then offer you advice on it disposition.

A lot can be learned in the "Have you inherited some stamps" category.

I can save you some trouble - there will not be any gems in the UN part of the collection.
