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.

Hi. This is my first time collecting food stamps. My husband was laid off of work recently. We are collecting food stamps temporarily. When we file our taxes, will this have an effect on us?

yeah! yeah! yeah! 1964 asked:


I collected stamps, and they need a place to keep. Do you know where can I buy a stamps book to keep my stamps collection? I lived in Los Angeles.
Thank You!

I know nothing about stamp collecting. I found some stamps while cleaning out my deceased uncle’s house.
