New Stamp Collector With Old Stamp Collection

Hey I'm new here from Nebraska a very large stamp collection has been
handed down to me and stamp collecting is new to me this is a great forum I am looking forward to learning all I can from everyone. Thanks!

I live in Nebraska too. Welcome to the forum!

Please feel free to show images of your collection. If you have any questions, the folks here are very helpful.

kbstamps,

Congratulations on being the current generation of your family to act as steward to this collection. Treasure it now looking to pass it on to the next generation of your family.

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

Congratulations - It is a great way to start. It makes a nice diversion from the current events.

Have fun with your new collection

Welcome to the hobby. Stamp collecting can take many forms: find a method that makes you happy. Also, I recommend finding a local stamp club, which I personally feel is an important aspect of my collecting success.

I've been amused the past few days by the title of this thread. I think I am more of an old stamp collector with a new collection.

Shermae, you are indeed an old collector, with a fabulous collection and knowledge of stamps. Now get off my lawn!

kbs, would like to see some photos/scans, and what do you intend to do with them? Hopefully expand on your collection?
