Default Any philatelists out there?

In case any of you are stamp collectors, I have a pile of (63) foreign canceled postage stamps that are free to anyone who would like them.

Most of them are pre-revolution Iran, but there's also few European ones.

The US quarter is not included.

PM me if you're interested.

How bout Phrenologists (study of bumps in the head- Medical QUACKERY) instead ?

I'm a firm believer that Quackery should be LEGAL. Caveat Emptor, Pal !
There is no guaranteed right to protect the stupid or gullible.

Medical quackary? Hmmm, you have seven large bumps on the head and one eye is swollen shut. My diagnosis is that you recently answered the question, "Does this dress make me look fat?"

Jeff,

I know Ed Mitton (BlastFromThePast here) is an avid collector. I’ll email him in case he does not see this. If still available could you hold until I reach him? We launch rockets together so I am in contact with him regularly.

Thanks!

They're still available and I'll now consider them spoken for. Thank you for the serious reply.

Jeff,

Ed replied, and said he has boxes of stamps he may never get to, and probably should pass. Looks like he may be going thru what many of us are going thru — “I have too much STUFF!”

Thanks for holding while I checked for his reply.

Dad used to collect stamps. Because of that, we knew about glassine long before we saw our first model rocket.

Serious collectors do not lick their stamps; that would destroy the value. Stamps are attached to albums using a small piece of glassine about 1/2" by 1/4", gummed on one side and folded in half with the glue on the outside.
