Okay. Well, I’ve recently started to collect stamps. Mostly, I’m doing it because it’s fun and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Anyways, I have a lot of stamps, mostly, I’m trying to start out sticking with U.S stamps, although I intend on soon collecting European stamps once I understand what I’m doing. Anyways, I’m pretty good at removing stamps from paper, which is what I’ve been doing for a few days now. I have about 1500 U.S stamps. But, could anyone tell me what to do after I get them all off of paper? How should I sort them? Also, how do I judge the stamps by value based on the looks of them? Last but not least, since I’m a beginner, could anyone who has been collecting give me some tips on stamp collecting, or just some helpful information. Any info is helpful. Thank you. Hope someone can help.
