Hello....
For any collector interested, If you send a request to me by regular mail, I will send 100 world wide and/or US stamps absolutely free. All I ask is that you use good condition new stamps on your envelope. Send me an email and I will give you my address. I have many thousands of duplicate stamps because I've been collecting more than 47 years. I am interested in stamps from just about every country and new ones on envelopes are not available here in my tiny little town in Nebraska, USA. This offer will last until I run out of duplicates. The request that arrives at my home first will receive a nice bonus item.

I would love to receive some of your stamps =) I don't know where to find your email address so just reply to me on this topic ^_^ I will take care of your stamps, don't worry! I love stamps :)
I was wondering if you know how to take off the stamps from the postcards without damaging them?

Hello ccatherine.......
Glad to have you respond to my offer, I'll send my email address to you.
In most cases post cards are worth more with the stamps still attached. But for any that are damaged, just cut the corner of the card and soak the cut corner in cold water, most stamps will float free in just a few minutes. Rinse of any remaining gum. Then let them dry face down on paper towels. If the paper towels have a printed patter try to avoid placing a wet stamp on the print, color could bleed onto the stamp.
Have you been collecting long ? Do you collect world wide or just US ? Do you have any literature to help identify your stamps ? Have you considered collecting covers for insight to postal history ? Do you have any questions about the hobby ?
Happy collecting.......

You gotta deal! I've been collecting since I was about 8, just stuffing them into envelopes really. Now I am looking into putting them into albums.

Hello again Tom, I would like to thank you for the package that I have just received, It has roused my interest again for sure. The fact that you used some new old stamps from the 1970's that were right along my particular theme of collecting (spaceflight), for the actual postage, put a BIG smile on my dial. I felt as though I was back in the 1970's when postie handed me the envelope. The stamps inside were classics, so much history. Well, I think I've made myself a new pen friend, I encourage you all to drop a letter into Tom, he is an honest and reliable man of his word.
Thanking you again my friend, see you in the MyLot soup. All the best to you and yours Tom from us in Oz.
