Hello , I Recently Inherited A Stamp Collection From 1800, S Up I Want To Sell

I am new to stamps. My great grandfather was in the air force . He has collected stamps from all over the world .They are quite amazing . I just want to sell them I could use the , really any money.

You could visit a local stamp club and ask members if they can give you an idea of what you are looking at. You, also, can see if there are dealers nearby that can give you an idea.

If you post some scans (please, no fuzzy pictures) of stamps or pages of stamps here, so people can give you some guidance on the best way to proceed.

However, keep in mind that not all collections have much monetary value. Without details, it is difficult to say anything about your collection.

Scans are highly preferred, but if you want a very quick assessment, a picture of your earliest or "best" stamps would give us a place to start.

Also, please remember that selling on this forum is prohibited before you post 50 quality comments. Information and advice, though, starts immediately.

Thanks for the info I'll check out some dealers here in my area #9786;#65039;

Bamblyin,

Please consider the added value to you and any others in your family of the collection being from your grandfather over and above its monetary value.

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
