New Member From The Philly Burbs

I'm a retired 73 year old with an interest in US broken bank notes and old, rare stock certificates. Not sure if this is the correct forum for items such as described. If not, I apologize.
Years ago my father collected stamps, coins, broken bank notes and stock certificates. In going through an office closet the other day, I came across some certificates and it peaked my interest again.

Welcome! Glad that your interest has been rekindled (not sure if "repiqued" is a word). This forum is almost exclusively philatelic, but our sister Coin Forum (look the navigation bar on the left) handles banknotes and stock certificates.

Where in the Philly suburbs are you. I am originally from Merion.

Smirkinwill,

Collecting for the enjoyment of collecting, whatever that might be, is the name of the game. Don't hesitate to ask questions especially if you need basic information and especially more advanced sources of information for any possible topic. You should be able to find folks on this board a little further along on their collecting journey glad to share experiences.

My personal bias is a used stamp loses the story of its journey in the postal service when it is removed from the cover it transported to its destination. Collecting postal history adds a whole new aspect to your journey in our hobby.

Wishing you many enjoyable future days in our hobby. Russ

Post some pictures and we can tell you if it's time to move to Bel Air.
