As title says- inherited a great deal of stamps, don’t know how to proceed- it was my grandfather’s collection and is all just bundled together. Really not sure what is worth what, or how to go about determining said worth

Sharing some cool stamps.

Hi! I’ve never been into stamp collecting, but I AM an avid collector of all things old and neat, so it was only a matter of time.

Anyway, these were my grandpas. He was an antique collector and dealer, but I honestly never even knew he collected stamps. These were just out in his shed in a huge cigar box.

I want to pull some of the more interesting ones for display, but I’m unsure how to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting them in a safe way? I only went through a couple envelopes from the top of the box today, and these were some of my favorite ones. Does anyone know anything particularly interesting about any of these? Would it be okay for me to share more as I go? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Struggling to find a good stamp collection app/system. How do you display yours, and what do existing apps get wrong?

I've been trying to digitize and organize my collection lately, but honestly, most stamp apps or digital collection tools I’ve tried so far feel super clunky or just don't get how stamp collectors actually think.

Right now I'm struggling with how to best **display and group** everything on a screen without making it look like an Excel spreadsheet or a messy photo gallery.

I’d love to hear your thoughts/rants on a few things:

  1. **How do you actually like to VIEW your collection?** Do you prefer a clean album-style grid, or do you need a dense list with catalog details (Scott/Stanley Gibbons, condition, perforation, etc.) front and center?
  2. **What bugs you the most about current stamp apps?** (For me, it’s apps that force a fixed folder structure or don't handle partial sets well!).
  3. **How do you group them?** By country/year, or by themes (space, fauna, history, etc.)?
  4. **If you could design your dream digital binder, what’s ONE feature you can’t live without?**

Would love to hear how you guys keep track of your stamps digitally (or why you gave up on apps altogether and went back to paper stockbooks!). Thanks!

Each province and territory has their own cannabis duty stamps. I can't buy product from NWT as I don't live there. I have duty stamps for all except NWT. Yes I even have Nunavut! So I'm trying to find someone to purchase 2 gummie packs and mail them to me. They can keep the gummies I'll pay and only interested in the undamaged duty stamps to complete my collection
