    My grandfather died in 1972 and I have owned his stamp collection ever since. Recently I have been looking online for a company or person that can evaluate, create values, and offer suggestions to sell.

    So, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    Now is not the best time to sell stamps. they are not in favor and are not bringing good prices,
    I just gave an old time collection to a friends son. Roger C.

    I have boxes of sheets and took them to a dealer. He said they were made in such high quantity, they are not valuable & I should just use them for postage. It's too difficult to paste 65 one cent stamps on the gas bill. I would give them away if I could but nobody has bit in 20 years of asking around.

    I gave mine to a Canadian friend who's son is a stamp collector and a trap shooter. I will contact them and see if they will take them. I will let you know as soon as i find out. Roger C.
    I will send you a P.M. as soon as I get an ok from them.

    They said no. Try taking them to the post office and see if the will trade them for usable stamps for you. Roger C.
