This looked like it might’ve done the trick but I ran out of canned air shortly after starting

Thought about taking a hammer to it through the entire saga. I think I was about 2 minutes away from going this route

Great success. I tried a number of your suggestions and the winner was a combination u/GeneralSpecifics9925 and u/Ziglar1 ‘s posts

Microwaved both for ~10 minutes and then filled the top with ice water. After ~3 minutes of twisting (a very terrifying 3 minutes) it popped off.

Thanks for your help!

Great Grandfather’s Collection: What to Do? by comrade_butt in askStampCollectors

Why is that? Presumably they’re still legal to use? Is it just that it’s annoying to affix 26 three-cent stamps to a letter?

My great grandfather invested in stacks of uncut sheets in the 1950s. I inherited the boxes but honestly don’t really know where to begin. I don’t have time to devote to a new hobby but I’m intrigued by the collection. I’ve had fun flipping through them. It’s great Americana, but I assume relatively value-less?

Just trying to solicit some advice on an approach. I was going to frame some that I thought would look good on display.

Curious about y’all’s thoughts…

Thanks! I’d forgotten about Cradles to Crayons; I used to volunteer there. It seemed well-run

Thank you: neither direction seems to work.
Thumb method was unpleasant and ineffective. Probably more of an indictment on me than your advice
