HOW TO SELL A STAMP COLLECTION AFTER INHERITING ONE

IF YOU INHERITED A STAMP COLLECTION A GOOD PLACE TO START IS TO TALK TO FAMILY TO SEE WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE COLLECTION. THIS INFORMATION CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH VALUABLE INSIGHT THAT WILL HELP YOU DETERMINE HOW VALUABLE THE COLLECTION MAY BE. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU A SOLID FOUNDATION TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH A DEALER ABOUT VALUATION OR SELLING THE COLLECTION.
