This is one of those things I almost threw away, then thought about giving away, then decided I should try to sell it.\u00a0 I think there’s a shop in Indianapolis that might give me something for it. I hardly remember having these stamps and I don’t remember if this was an on-going collection or something I was gung-ho about for a few weeks before completely forgetting it (as my own kids do now with so many of their toys and hobbies).\u00a0 They aren’t organized in any way – in fact, they are just jumbled together in an old Estee Lauder box my Mom must have provided. What’s somewhat depressing to consider is this:\u00a0 at the time, the collection was pretty worthless because it was just a bunch of common stamps – only a few of them more than a few years old.\u00a0 And that’s why I was going to just toss them.\u00a0 But then I paused long enough to realize that now all these common stamps are 30 to 40 years old!\u00a0 They are antiques because I am now … OLD. So I decided to check them out on-line to see if any had value.\u00a0 What I found was that quite a few of them retained their original face value … sometimes a few cents more.\u00a0 And I’ve got hundreds of them.\u00a0 Of course, it was 30 years ago, so the face value of most is between\u00a05 and 8 cents!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
