Stamp Collectors

[EINSIGN]

I have come across this lot of stamps in an envelope from my parents loft. Around 30-40+ years old.

I know nothing about stamps, are they worth anything. Where do you go to find out? Thanks.

It's been used though. You owe us all a fiver.

in short, no.

It's possible, but very very unlikely that in amongst them is something worth having, but it does happen occaisoinally,

I think you'd get more for the sofa.

Ok, so they are worthless. However is there a charity or organisation of stamp nerds that could benefit from these, rather than throw in the bin...

It looks like the contents of one of those 50p starter packs.

I remember counting phosphor bands on stamps from the cheap bulk packs when I was about eight years old, great fun way to while away an afternoon.

I'm collecting stamps to sell for the Motor Neurone Disease Association!
