    My grandfather loved to hunt and fish, so much so he saved most all his old licenses and stamps the first hunting one is 1920 and the fishing licenses start in 1925. There are too many to post them all here so most are posted as thumbnails but if there is something specific you are interested in I can look for it and add that.

    A long time ago someone posted a bunch of old fishing and hunting licenses, asking if they were worth listing. As I recall, they did very well indeed! (@cxgirl )?

    The things we save. Ive got all the library cards I collected living all over the place. Who knows why i keep them but every now and then I look at them and remember the places.

    for me these a memories fishing with my grandad but my kids never knew him I’m not sure they’d care the same as I do, so maybe some day if money is tight I’d think about it.

    California ones seem to do the best of any state

    yes, that was me and they did very well:) I sold them in 2015, I can't remember the exact amounts but I think some went over $100USA each

    those are very cool Desertau, nice memories for you and maybe one of your kids:)

    the ones I sold were all from California, that is probably why they went so high:)

    If those were Grandpa's, I'd hang onto them but also keep an eye on what they're worth. That way no one gets an attack of the doofuses and tosses them out because they don't want them around any more taking up space!
