Found: Old stamp books
I Found two old stamp book collections at a rummage sale. I talked the guy down on his price. He bought them at an estate sale in Indiana. The older of the two is called The International Postage Stamp Album Illustrated with Engravings 4000 1899 Edition from New York The Scott Stamp And Coin Co. Limited It has many old stamps in it from all over the world. The second book is newer. Its called Harris Pioneer World -Wide postage stamp album. It looks like its from 1970. It is fairly loaded too. Also with them came many zip-lock bags with stamps in them. What I am wondering is how to find out what this collection is worth. I think there must be some value to them. I am not a stamp collector. I've seen some of them on ebay. I don't know the terms used "hinged, First day...." I went to the book store but all the have is a U.S. stamp book and I didn't want to spend $20.00 on it. Does anyone have some advice for me? Thank You, Steve P |

go to the library and checkout the stamps in the SCOTT stamp catalogues.....
but take note, if the stamps are damaged their value is minimal... kk "Steve P" wrote in message ... I Found two old stamp book collections at a rummage sale. I talked the guy down on his price.

The stamps seem to be in pretty good shape, the only thins is that
they have some kind of tape on the bottom side to hold them in place. Its a small piece that falls off very easy. There are stamps that fell off in the pages and are loose so I am very careful when I open the book.
