hey everyone, I was recently going through some of the stuff that belonged to my grandmother and found an old (I mean old!) stamp collectors book, and its filled with VERY old stamps inside of it.

I don't know the first thing about stamps.. or how to check their value. Are there any avid stamp collectors around here that might know of a website I could go to.. in order to check the value of all of these? I know that there are some stamps out there that are very very valuable and hard to find. I'm not saying I have any that are valuable.. but hey, you never know until you check.

So again, if anyone knows of a good legit site I could go to.. in order to check the value of these stamps.. that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

peace.

there's lots of collector sites about, I used to collect stamps, it's a niche thing. But there are the odd few rarities out there, best thing to do is research the hell out of it, you never know you might be sitting on a little fortune. Good luck

i came across a few folders of stamps that dated from the 30's to the 60's. i went to a local dealer to get them appraised, i struck out but it made a good gift to a stamp collecting nephew. good luck with yours.

i would research what you have. i know stamps from the late 1800s and the turn of the century can be very valuable. a good bit of stamps hold value up to about world war two then the stamps value dissappeared.
