Interesting captures, I remember collecting stamps as a kid. Gee, I wonder where my stamp album is? Funny how parents can magically whisk away some of their children's belongings ;-) I guess, its out with the old and in with the new!!!
I had no idea stamps were really worth anything, I just saw bags and bags of them at value village when I was shopping for costumes/props for my last photoshoot...thinking I should go back and take another look at them 👀

Are these all stamps you have in your collection?
These ones are from my father’s collection (he’s selling some btw if interested).
