Hey yall! I recently began collecting again. I had quite a large collection of stamps given to me by my grandfather, who worked for the United States Postal Service for almost 50 years in his home state of Maine. After he passed away, some family members decided to take my stamps, leaving me devastated, as they were the only things I had of my grandfathers. I have acquired a few stamps here and there, and would really appreciate any feedback I can get. I never researched or learned about the errors and such, as this was a fun little hobby I shared with my grandfather. These are a small group I have, 1 set bring George Washington one cent stamps, and the other Ben Franklin, also one cent. I have 12 Bens and 22 George's. I also have one US Parcel Post, Post Office Clerk one cent stamp with this section of my collection. Any help with these would be awesome! I will upload more photos as soon as my laptop charges up, this cell phone has been a pain! I've been trying to post this for about 2 hours now, haha, so here goes! Thank y'all so much!!

Welcome!
You might try posting one image over in US Classics category and ask for feedback there (more folks will see it there). This community is a wealth of good information on US stamps including previous threads and posts. Spending time reading through some of the existing threads will give you a ton of good information. Lastly, the Stamp Smarter website (http://stampsmarter.com ) is another a good place to learn more.

Thank you for that information! I will definitely spend some time today reading! I'm getting used to the Site still, and my phone is just about to make a trip out the door and into the snow! Ha!
Also, I am around the gulfport area on the coast, close to Alabama...

Yay another Mississippian!
Welcome to the Group.

Yeah we had snow yesterday...

Hey, I like that 1c George in your pics - the one with the 1912 cancel date. Sometimes that can come in handy when trying to ID these little rascals.
