My mother is moving and now we come across everything that belonged to my father.

including postage stamps. I'm curious if the stamps still represent any value before we throw them away.

I think my father collected them as a child.

Dear Erwin,

Stamps always have some value, as far as I can see from the photos, there are no very precious stamps and I estimate the value at no more than 2 cents each.

I would see if you could make a friend happy because throwing it away is always a shame.

Mvg Patrick.

I also see quite a few damaged stamps (torn, folded, missing teeth), which horrific philatelists.

Sometimes you just have to be pragmatic.

If I look at it that way, your father was not a collector, but he just put them in stockbook what he came across, just plain standard stamps what I see. and after 50 years something like this looks like this, some stamps from every country.

My wish for the new year is that we keep these kinds of topics to a minimum, no matter how sympathetic. We have no ad space on the site and asking about the value of anything equates to an ad to me. Only things can be reported that can be picked up for free
