WOW ! But I can't help but think whoever did that didn't realize that maybe the stamps were worth more to a collector ? It would be interesting to see if they still have any value ?

tlrnhi

That was my first thought too!
WHO in the right mind would use those? Not me!
I'm thinking it's someone who cleaned out mom/dads/gramma/grampa's attic/house/garage and found them......

joeyoz

Wow!! That is incredible. I don't think they knew what they had. Probably just using up mom and dads old stamps. Yikes!!!

carrieg

WOW! OMG! I agree that somebody died and this is part of their collection. Look at the dates of some of those. Oh gosh. My dad collected stamps.

I do hope you're not tossing them! Even cancelled, collectors still want them. Please find someone who wants them.

I think it is a sign you need to start stamp collecting.

sewjoyce

Wow -- that's a bunch of stamps!! I've never seen a 1 1/2 cent stamp before....how would you make change if you only needed to buy one? :lol: :lol:

I grew up in the next town north of Hyde Park, and I remember those Lincoln stamps, too. I can't believe they crammed that many on an envelope!
