Used Postage Stamps - Newbies welcome!

20 stamps yikes! I'm hosting one that's for only 5 stamps for newbies because it's hard to get so many stamps when you're just starting. I hope to be able to join one like this when I get more!

I'm a newbie with a very big collection so no problem for me ! :-) If you want I can post some advices to help people peeling off their stamps ?

Bastet, would love info on getting the stamps off. Thanks, Janet

I usually leave them on paper to keep them from creasing and folding. Janet

Janet - I do the same! :) Sometimes I prefer them with paper! I can't find a stamp album anywhere :(!

I like to receive them on the paper as well. I will send mine, some on the paper and some off. I'd rather do my own removing from the paper. I just soak them off in a bowl. It takes longer for some of the newer stamps - or use warm water.

Also, I just soak them until they fall off, or nearly so. Then I lay them out on a paper towel and put them in a safe place so they can dry. After they dry, if they are curled, putting them in my stamp collection book flattens them out.

The cool thing about postage stamps is that any duplicates can be used for craft projects, like scrap booking, artist trading cards, and such.

I will send 20 that are all different and some extras as well. I hope I get someone from outside of the USA. All my stamps are USA stamps.

I sent mine on August 5. Hope you get it, peanutbutter.
And, yay, I got someone from Australia to send to and someone from Israel to receive from Can hardly wait to get mine!
