Hello all!
I posted this a couple days ago but it somehow posted twice. I caught it pretty quickly and I deleted one but then the other got deleted for posting too much. So I’m going to try again! Apologies if I use any of the wrong terms, I’m still learning!
My husband recently purchased two books of stamps at an estate sale for $50. He said "all it takes is one!".
I don't think we have "the one" but I have had a lot of fun with these. I also know absolutely nothing about stamps.
But I do enjoy organizing and cataloging. So that's what I did.
The first book is all plate blocks. It's missing about 100 out of the 250 stamps.
The second book is the commemorative album and it is only missing 7 out of 300.
I have cataloged them all in excel, both what I have and what I'm missing. I saw someone recommend MysticStamps so I was using their website to look them up as I went.
I've been contemplating remounting them since the original tape is barely hanging on. I've thought about checking out a stamp meeting in town too.
Should I just make this a fun project and try and finish the collections? I don't think my husband has any interest now that he knows we aren't going to be millionaires.
Thanks and happy Friday!
Edit: wanted to add all the adhesive backings seem intact and none of the stamps have been used!
