I am looking for someone who could come by, so living close to Kortrijk, (Sint Denijs)!

Bought 2 seal books at a bankruptcy auction, which I thought were empty. Wanted to keep strip view cards in it.

Now it appears to contain more than 2000 stamps (not Belgian ones).

As a comic collector it is difficult for me to put anything of value on it, but there are certainly old ones, because I found a few back from 1948 from Afrique equatoral

Hello Ernie,

Ah someone from the 'Texas' of Flanders on LD :) I thought there were only 3 of us (Wim, Jan and I).

We have to comply with the obligation to keep up, my bubble is already full ... Will send a message tonight how we solve that.

You can already have a look under 'French Equatorial Africa' for stamps on LD. Who knows, there might be more than 1 or 2 cent (s) in sales value. On a treasure hunt!

more than 2000 stamps at 2 cents is more than 400 € :-)

Bought for the price of empty albums = 10.85 €

isn't a bad buy after all

euch ... Southwestern Flemings are normally known for good mathematicians ... lol

How much was 2000 times 2 cents again?

A bang on it twice isn't bad either.

@Raoul

Buy that trade.

Is an offer, yes those Belgians, why weren't they in the Netherlands anymore? LOL.

Greetings John.

@John,

Or the Netherlands next to Belgium (it seems that a certain Leopold II once had such a thing in his head). Imagine.

Fortunately, after BeNeLux, ECSC, EEC and now the EC, there has never been a Nedxit or Belxit. So we will actually be together again. Wouldn't know why, in such a small area, there must be boundaries between them. In the summer months I live and live mainly in the Netherlands (Zeeland). If there were traffic jams there, like in the UK with Brexit, that could change rapidly.

Ernie made a bargain idd when those books are neat and thick. Great to be able to neatly put away / present a part of your collection for little money. Then you can enjoy it regularly. But whether those stamps that stick in it can yield a lot?

@Ernie

Maybe send a few scanned pages, then I want to take some time to look at them. But not everything, hey, my 24 hours a day are already very well filled.
