Did you inherit
your uncle's stamp collection
and don't know what to do?
Many families come across this situation where
a dear family member has passed on and left their
collection with no instructions on disposal.
This can be a confusing situation to a
non-collector. The usual questions are:
• What am I going to do with these albums?
• How & where should I store the collection?
• What are they worth?
• How can I dispose of the collection?
The WPS NO LONGER DOES APPRAISALS
AT MEETINGS.
If you fall in this category and would like some
ideas on how to handle and dispose of the
material, see below.
