Novice ??s: gifted box of stamps a friend’s non-collector mom clipped from the late 50s-1970. Mostly Germany & Austria, w/12 covers. Don’t collectors now prefer covers to loose stamps? Likely no real value in any of it. Keep covers? Soak off stamps? Do what I want who cares? Thnx Feeling bummed that I couldn’t make it to the Great American Stamp Show! Maybe next year. Enjoy if ur there. Here’s the nicest stamp found in that box so far (still a lot to go through). Japan 1969 “hinoki zu by kano eitoku ( 1543-1590 ) folding screen” national treasures series.
