Few nice finds from the Sudan section

This is my uncles international collection. Unfortunately he is now in a nursing home. I am looking for suggestions on who I can contact regarding its sale.

Thank you.

I have a 6’x8’ closet filled with stamps— down from About 120 boxes (pandemic binge of purchasing several estate collections) where I got rid of envelopes, gold foil stamps, packaging, flyers, catalogues, first day covers, etc.

I’ve been thinking about continuing to organize the boxes by country. But with the albums, should I also take pages out of the albums by country and start over with albums? The albums are so hit or miss— trying to sift through these in a meaningful way somehow but concerned I’d be making a bigger problem down the road.

How would you organize this collection? I’ve got 3-4 hours a week for attention.

Seems pretty interesting. Not worth the paper they are printed on. But interesting.

Hello all, my spouses great grandmother passed a little while ago and left us the following stamps and I was wondering if they have any significance at all? I know nothing about stamps at all but my dad kind of used to collect them so was curious. TIA

Stuck to the back page.

Hi all,

I came across a bunch of stamps while decluttering some of my mother's things. We have absolutely no knowledge of stamps apart that they have been in a box for over 20 years... Before we discard them, I want to make sure there is nothing of value. Can anyone here have a quick look?

It would be much appreciated.

so I picked up this book at the thrift store thinking it was a cool old blank notebook for $4 but turned out to be a stamp collectors book. there’s tons more pages. are any of these significant/valuable stamps? there’s stamps from all over the world in here

I’ve been enjoying this set of natural history stamps from Monaco. There’s something charming about how much detail they fit into such a small space, almost like a miniature museum page

Some of my favorites from my collection!

I inherited a massive collection years ago dating back to early 1800’s. I spent 3 years sorting and trying to valuate them, however due to sheer size of collection, I never ended up valuing anything after 1900. I was under the impression that most stamps after 1900 were worthless and I just ran out of steam. Today, I saw an article about duck stamps and how they can have value. I remembered having a whole box of them somewhere and even sheets of them so I grabbed one of my albums that I saw some in, and sure enough I do. Is it worth the hours of work it would take to find the rest?

Hello 👋 I recently got my hands on 500 unsorted stamps, including a lot of German ones. I am trying to gather info on these stamps and was hoping anyone who knows them could help out. I don't think the composers set and the womens set are complete. Do you know which stamps are missing and possibly where I could get them?

And I was wondering if the castle set is complete? I haven't found any others in the unsorted stamps. If not, which are missing?

I'm still a beginner. Not looking for worth, I just collect stamps I enjoy. Interests so far around nature, women, history etc. So I'm still struggling a bit where to find info, especially when the info I find is German and my German isn't that good 😅 Thank you for reading and thank you for your time!

I inherited these russian stamps from my great great aunt who lived in Russia. Are any of them valuable or worth looking into?
