I’ve my dad’s collection for safe keeping. He’s in a care home now. Many memories brought rushing back, as I collected stamps for a few years as a kid, so it’s going nowhere.
It’s hard work selling stamps as there are so many variables, such as different phosphor bands, different perforations, used stamp postmark condition and coverage of stamp, how mounted in album etc etc.
Ok, if I discover any stamps are worth thousands of pounds I’ll have a chat with my dad about them, but any proceeds would probably risk being swallowed by his care costs anyway.
The penny black my mum bought him back in the 90s is going nowhere, however, even though it’s not that valuable.
