I have been submerged in thousands of used stamps that I have been organizing for a month now. Way back when Dad used to collect them and I am organizing them saying to myself, once again, if I don't do it, who will? I did all of Europe, the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, Africa (do you know where Benin is?), Lebanon and Armenia. I am taking a breather before I tackle the huge pile that is Asia. Even after that I will need more time to start liberating the rest of the stamps from their prison, i.e. the little envelope parts they are attached to and then start the whole process over. You might as well know, although you are under no obligation and you can close your eyes at this point, that I enjoyed doing this activity more than I thought I would.
So what good is that to the world you might ask? Answer? Anyone? No? Too bad. As soon as I am done with this I promise I will do something for the good of the world as soon as I find out what that something is. So there.
What I ask is that someone sends me the contact of a reliable and trustworthy source to appraise my stamps.
Benin used to be called Dahomey. I have a few stamps from Dahomey.
ReplyDeleteAs for appraising your collection, look up your local philatelist society in the phone book (there was such a thing before Google), or just search for them on the web.
One final thing, please write more often.
