Buy an ad on late night television, offer to sell them at a vastly inflated price because you have an "Official Certificate of Authenticity." Then you retire to an all inclusive resort in Cancun Mexico and spend your days fishing and playing golf.

I'd double down on that investment with a couple bottles of Crown Royal. You and Greg can work up the script for a joint infomercial this weekend. If you want to post it to YouTube first, I'm sure you could get plenty of feedback here. (Maybe a few sales, too.)

If I won that lot, I would send the stamps to Ziggy, and tell him to let the scouts use the stamps to start a campfire, and toast some marshmellows

Phil...I thought you were a mountain dew man ?

Bob - If you kept a hundred, it would certainly make their value go up - eventually!

just so you all know I was not a complete fool on the Campbell Hall bulk lot..i looked in the back of Linns and there was a place St. Albans Stamp Mission in Ellenton Fl..right near my Dads place where you could donate stamps to charity and get a deduction on your income tax..i think I sent them 2 thousand dollars catalog and asked for a $300 letter of receipt which they gladly sent..so that should have covered the cost of the lot..i still make $100 mistakes but I try to limit them to once a year or less !!
