We received a very large album that has all these countries in the album, most of the pages have stamps that are unhinged and mint I believe.

We are new to the stamp world - would one sell these pages individually? There are countries I have never heard of. Here are some photos.

I'd sell the album intact - take some decent pictures of the more interesting, better-stocked pages. Breaking it up will be more trouble than it's worth.

I forgot to note the album is 1000 pages! Very heavy. So interesting though to see all these stamps!

Don't assume that just because most of the stamps are in mounts that they are unhinged. Chances are, anything before 1950 is probably hinged, and anything before 1940 is almost certainly hinged. Take a few of the old ones out and examine them to ensure you don't misrepresent this collection as mint never hinged when in reality most stamps with any value have already been hinged at least once.

Sell collection intact. Selling it page by page would be the hobby.

Since there is 1000 pages and some stamps are from the 1800s, any suggestions on best way to sell if I used ebay?

Or maybe sell the Country Pages (for example all Hungary stamp pages as one listing and Turks and Caicos as another listing? Again new to all of this. :)

What is an estimate of the total number of stamps? Based on what is shown, five cents a stamp would be generous, especially if the buyer pays for shipping. Stamps from "countries" like Umm Al Qwain are often not particularly desirable.
