<p>[QUOTE="artsfarm, post: 197393, member: 3418"]Thank you for starting this thread, as I have always had an interest in stamps, but not the time/patience to get into it fully. I did have a collection when I was from about 8-12 years old, and wish I had it now. I now have a box of letters sent 'to home' from WWII and have been wondering if the stamps or the letters themselves have any significant value. Will post some when I have photos taken.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had the privilege to work as a painter for Collins FDC in the late 90s/early 2000s, for about 4 years until he moved and dropped his NY artists (the work was dropped off and picked up in person). Best job I ever had. I had nothing to do one day a few years ago, and did a search on eBay for his covers. It's the weirdest feeling to see something you made on there. Most weren't selling for very much (too new-ish), but it will be pretty neat to see how they fare in the coming years/decades <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
