These are cute.

It would be helpful if at least some of those scanned images were of stamps

Good point Geoff

Sorry, got sidetracked.

Here's a couple. Only gone through one album. Most are 70s and 80's.

Here's a few half interesting. Just noticed after taking pic the first is discoloured on some stamps.

It is from a period when it cost 5c for first oz to post letter or postcard.

20$ for that booklet if you had all the stamps. Really anything that is decimal, unless for a couple are not much more than face value so canbe used for mail legitatmetly even if there 30 years old

I would give anyone an idea of prices if they want to send me a pm with some scanned images

Great offer

I went through this early last year with the 'family' stamp collections.
basically was told that any stamps pre-WW2 in good condition are generally worth something as they are rarer. Post-WW2 there is generally plenty around (with a few exceptions) as almost every kid had a stamp collection and Aus post were pumping the stamps out by the millions.
The advice I had was to use up the decimal stamps on postage...

Wife and FIL's stamp collections are probably in this boat

My coin collection is extremely varied having come from a variety of sources over the years

Wow, Pretty worthless, thanks for sharing your knowledge and letting me know. From what ive gone through There's probably about $50 worth of unused stamps. I think my husband will want to keep though. I just found an older album so will flick through later.

I've got a collection of hyper inflation stamps from weimar republic. Go from 1 mark to 3 billion marks in one year. This thread has made me decide to frame them, as they look quite cool.
