Recently Came Into Possession Of A Very Large Collection

I recently have come into possession of a very large stamp collection and have been working on trying to catalog the stamps in an effort to sell. So far I have gone through 20 full binders of heco pages and one All American stamp book

Here is a small portion maybe a third of the collection

Is there a question?

There is one stamp I can't figure out the Scott number for so far

It's not a postage stamp. Somebody might be able to figure out what it is.

Scroll down near the bottom for NSDAP issues

Always nice to inherit a fun collection like this. Not in the best shape, I must say, but there is some potential in these binders:


Why not take some scans/pictures of the oldest items you can find and post here for more comments? Have fun!

That's not a bad idea, yeah this collection was not in the best of shape when I got it, but most of the stamps are in wax envelopes or heco pages but a good couple of hundred of stamps that are loose

Banshee - The items you show could have some modest value, but condition is everything and you have some issues going on due to poor storage. The waviness of the paper is likely due to moisture, the sheets have been folded, the edges are curled, and the paper clip can leave rust stains and an impression. These things will seriously impact the collectability and salability of these items.

I think you need to do some serious conservation based upon your photos thus far and see what you can salvage.

Nice sheets. SAAR under French Protectorate, Scott 250-251. First rule of stamp collecting: If it's stored in Crystal Mounts, take them out! Those are notoriously bad as they tend to discolor, warp, etc. Better to pull them out and put in a stock book instead.

I got this collection from a storage unit, I am unsure of how long it was there for but I'm trying to preserve as many stamps as I can, this collection has bank notes, mortgage stamps, alcohol and cigar "stamps" along with ration coupons from WW2 and I have only sorted through about a third of it and cataloged a fraction

Storage auction?

Unsure on the cover, I can't find it using google, unknown if it is the project Apollo or Space event.

Banshee - If the signatures of Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins are genuine that is a very nice item with substantial value. It would need to be authenticated by PSA/DNA but well worth the price to do so. Genuine signed covers with all three signatures can reach into the five figures. Take good care of it.
