I was at a flea market at the Rhinebeck fairgrounds and a fellow had a large dollar box..covers , stamps, postcards, paper goods..everything a buck..i pulled out a P.R.O.C. booklet and paid my buck..when I got home I cataloged it..a booklet pane 1862a cataloged 57.50 and a souvineer sheet of horse and rider cataloged for $55.00 I just sold it to a fellow from Malaysia on ebay for $61.11...it happens when you have been around stamps awhile..i still prefer collecting to selling..but it helps with new purchases !! |

Well done. those little wins make it all worthwhile. It's often worth making a blind offer on the WHOLE dollar box if you've got the cash. There's always a find or two to be made. |

Jubilee, I did that at the same flea market a few years before..a fellow had a large box of covers..i pulled out a few Saar covers from the 1930s who knew what else I would find..he took 60 dollars for the box..the saar covers were worth almost half of that !! |

That is one of great things about philately - you find a treasure you do not collect, and sell it to enhance your own collection - great find Philby. |

This is a good lesson here for ALL Stamp collectors. Some of your best finds will be at places where you would not normally see stamps, such as a flea market or garage sale. Good job, Brother Phil! |

David, correct...the flea market dealer cleans out an estate or something and he just wants quick turnover...one of the times a lifetime of looking at stamps and covers comes in handy!! |
