    Anyone around here know anything, or interested in collecting stamps?

    I was given about 8 boxes of someones old stamp collection.

    Included is a First Airmail stamp that I have seen for sale for $175 on the internet, Elvis stamp collections and loads of other stuff....some in albums, others loose.

    All are in very good condition.

    I don't want to throw it away, but I would like to get rid of it as it is taking up space in my apartment.

    It is for sale or trade, CHEAP, or maybe even given away to the right person.

    That's funny. I just read a book about a hit man whose hobby was collecting stamps. In fact, in every city he'd go to kill someone, he always ended up buying some stamps or covers. The author obviously did a fair amount of research on the subject, so if you want a good read and learn a bit about stamp collecting, the author is Lawrence Block and the series is "Hit Man", "Hit List", "Hit Parade" and "Hit and Run".
