holloway Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I was helping a friend clear his aunties attic after she had died ,he said he had already taken anything of value but I insisted on going up and looking myself. ”what about these stamp albums in the trunk I shouted down “ seen those he replied no good they are all old ones ! Take ‘em if you want them. I did offer him some money I couldn’t just take them ,all commonwealth from way back still got some left but most were sold off spent days going through them hours of fun, no good they are really old ,that makes me smile to this day .

steve_b_wales Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 As mentioned, the stamps have very kindly been given to me. I will keep them for my grandchildren who will get them in a few years time. I also inherited stamps 30 years ago. Some are 'rare' and other's are 'misprints.'(eg, a bird with double wings) I've never had them valued, perhaps now is the time. I always think of me like Del Boy with the watch, sat in his garage for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
