gift exchange reminder!

[amandasw]

Because I'm terrible and forgot to check elfster, this is a reminder to people to answer questions that their elf asks! also, to list items that you like to help your elf out. Now that my exam is over, I'm working on this

amanda, i noticed you answered that you collect stamps....

i've been working on organizing our man cave downstairs, and found h's stamp collections.... he doesn't care for them, his parents gave it to him. are they worth anything at all? what can you do with them?

my dad and I collect them and his dad used to collect them before that. honestly, not many of them are worth much, it's more for the fun of organizing them and preparing them (removing the paper from the back etc) - I like spending time doing it with my dad. And we have books so we can look up things about the stamps too. But I'm not sure you could really make money off them for the most part (unless you have the first stamp ever made or something, lol) like baseball cards or something. You could probably sell the books full of stamps on ebay or something though, I'm sure someone would buy them for $20 or something (depending on how many there are) or you could try to look up the various stamps and see if any are worth anything. I'm sure there are *some* that are valuable, but I don't know a whole lot about that.
