Smann Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My wife's father was a stamp collector since he was a boy. Last year he passed away and my wife and her sister had to prepare his collection for auction for their mother, the collection sold for 58k to give an idea of the extent of his collection. Recently they were cleaning his den and found lots, lots!! more small boxes, folders,recipe boxes, etc of loose stamps In a small box by itself was this set I thought it was pretty cool!

pnkrcklives Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wow those are pretty cool. Any idea how old they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've still got a ton of old stamps that I used to collect when I was a kid with my brother. I should start looking at those again if you got 58k for them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smann Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 The stamps are from the 1980's, I am going to frame them and put them next my tank. My wife found the original artwork they came from on amazon for $6 it also comes with the stamps so we ordered that. The collection consisted of 20+ books thicker than phone books along with boxes full of smaller albums, it was quite a collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
