New To Stamps Have Stamps From 1861 To 1970-S

Hi everyone I have this stamp collection I know nothing about really remodeling my house and found them I have some stamps from oldest being 1892 two columbus stamps sighting a new land and landing of Columbus those being oldest I've found and it's a big collection all the way up until 1970s I also have two I found while typing this from confederate states from 1861-1862 one 5 cent stamp and one 10 cent stamp love to find values or someone that buys them would consider keeping collections if no big value but like I said I'm remodeling my house and could use money

The first stamp appears to be CSA 10/11/12 (not my area, so unsure). But I am sure that forgeries are very common for Confederate issues. If real, likely expect <$100 for it given its condition, I'd say. The postage due stamp (J85 maybe) has no value.

I have a really big stamp collection a lot of them are new stamps and whole books of them still connected together from 1920 to 1970s I really would like to just sell it as a whole and I have no idea where to sell any of it rather not deal with ebay or online auction just like to find a place to let someone see what I have and give a fair value and take it off my hand

you could look into selling the lot here on the community. I have made a few purchases here and am happy to see additional offers when posted.

S/he can't sell here without having had fifty posts.

Big City 2024,

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
