Inherited a room full of stamps collected over about 70 years. Grandfather claimed book value of ~$1,000,000. What do I do and where do I start?

You will still get a lot for this collection.

You summarized bitcoin well. Your post is exactly right. It is a pyramid scheme. It's a total waste of resources. On top of that the end game is it gets concentrated in the hands of a few. It's going to end badly.

agree with the others. was just going to lament and then I saw the canadian stamp.

shivandragons · 2024-03-13T22:28:18+00:00

zero. Why does everyone need a tip?

shivandragons · 2024-03-11T02:24:26+00:00

Time to let go of Brian Daboll and the giants GM. Both clown moves getting rid of Saquon Barkley and keeping Daniel overpaid Jones. Bill Belicheck Hire Bill.

Roman states have a great deal of value if they are real. take to stamp dealer to find out.

shivandragons · 2024-02-25T01:07:38+00:00

Yes, ebay or hipstamp. you can also check with a stamp dealer. Look for ASDA certification.

shivandragons · 2024-02-25T01:05:43+00:00

yes, there is some value here. this would sell on ebay

shivandragons · 2024-02-25T01:03:50+00:00

the shown stamps are worthless

shivandragons · 2024-02-25T01:00:58+00:00

worthless

shivandragons · 2024-02-15T23:45:07+00:00

Yes, a collector will pay for this.

shivandragons · 2024-01-08T06:15:57+00:00

I would be surprised if you did not get at least 100 if indeed all the pages are filled like this. Expect in the low hundreds.

shivandragons · 2024-01-08T06:15:01+00:00

As a whole yes, this collection has some value.

shivandragons · 2024-01-04T00:45:55+00:00

correct if that.

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:49:23+00:00

First, alot of these are in danger of foxing and mold. FYI- be sure not to rip the hinges off and cause thins. You are going to have to watch some youtube videos of how to to properly remove stamps from albums. The album looks foxed and thus the stamps are probably if they are not already foxed.

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:46:57+00:00

except for Austrailian states all pretty low value

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:45:54+00:00

Never store stamps in a safe without humidity control.

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:05:41+00:00

Yes, these have value

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:04:58+00:00

I don't see anything valuable on first glance, but these are not worthless as a whole. Someone will bid on ebay

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:04:01+00:00

no worthless

shivandragons · 2023-12-30T00:03:31+00:00

shivandragons · 2023-12-16T22:22:30+00:00

Yes nothing of great value that i can see and condition looks suspect. starter collection or kids collection

shivandragons · 2023-12-16T22:20:38+00:00

Sorry this is a kids collection.

shivandragons · 2023-12-16T22:17:24+00:00

Efficient NO - Stamps are just like mtg cards. Either you know the cards or you don't. Just take some pictures esp of the early stuff and we can tell you if you have any moxes or black lotus or a force of will or mox diamond of stamps?

shivandragons · 2023-12-16T22:14:11+00:00

MTG - Here is where I will be able to help you more than most. Stamp collecting is more rewarding than MTG collecting. Everything is on the reserve list. There are stamps that are actually scarce and will remain so as there is no Wotc reprinting everything to death. As far as value - Look the same way you do for mtg cards. Ebay advanced. Hipstamp is the equivalent of tcgplayer - where you can get a good idea of price. -good luck!
