Hi Fellow Stampbears,
I am in need of help deciding where to go with my collections and I'm hoping that I can get some help from you all.
I have fully labelled up and mounted collections from Guyana/British Guiana, Australia, Canada, USA, several British/Ex-British Caribbean countries and Surinam, these I will be keeping probably till I kick the proverbial bucket. The problem I am having is deciding what else to get rid of (it is so hard when you've collected them for over 50 years), I have partially mounted collections of Chile, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden and Norway that I don't know what to do with. As many are aware I have given up quite a few countries recently, lately Thailand, Kenya, Mexico and Tanzania amongst others, my problem is that I NEED to get rid of more before I can even think of getting anymore stamps for those that I am keeping. I really am stuck as I haven't wanted to get rid of any but I really have no choice, if any one can come up with a way to help me decide that would to great.
I have never cared about the value of my collections and probably never will, so have no idea if any of these are of any value, I have only ever used catalogues for arranging my collections. Obviously on occasions I have noticed the values, for example I have a stamp in my Guyana collection valued at at least £50 but don't remember which it is and without a catalogue wouldn't be able to find it again.
