I started off with a couple of large moving boxes' worth and I am only part way through sorting them. Most of the stamps are pretty common, but I have found a few "gems" along the way, and there is quite a bit of material in the $5.00 to $50.00 catalogue value range.I have been slowly unraveling the mess and selling the stamps.
