OK, I hope someone here has some insight on my problem and can guide me to a path that I can study and decide which way to go...
We have moved mother into a memory care facility... I am working on cleaning out her condo to sell... might have someone interested so am now going a bit faster...
Well, my dad (passed in 1980) had a stamp collection... we always thought that it was just a small thing that he did off and on... he tried to get a few of us interested but nobody in the family got into it...
SOOO, found part of the collection and I am floored.... we are talking at least a few thousand stamps!!! There are a few books with some mounted, but there are also cigar boxes full of them.... some have been used but some have never been used... since my dad died in 1980 all of them are older than that...
What is the best way to find out the value of these stamps? What sites are available to look the up... there are many different ones... and some are sheets with numbers etc. on them...
I do not want to just sell them to someone who might give me a few cents on the dollar, but I also do not want to spend weeks or months looking them up if they have no value of limited value...
I am really hoping someone has a good suggestion...
