Once done he went back to two pages and pulled about 6 stamps. He said these may bring some money and offered to put them in an auction for us. The rest he said we should use to mail letters. The auction came and went and we netted about 600 bucks on the 6 or so stamps. My grandfather collected coins too... they turned out about like the stamps, most worth face value.

Thanks for that story. I think I need to go see what a store will say. I don't know any collectors. I expect it is all not worth much.
