[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 91632, member: 141"]My father collected stamps all his life. He was so disappointed to learn that they were not worth what he thought they would be long term. Now he sometimes uses some of the more recent stamps on envo's when he sends me a letter via snail mail. At least they have a second life or purpose, but I know he was sad to learn after decades of collecting them that they weren't worth much. :-( One of the first things I started collecting were the Vitrock canisters with colored rings on the front for sugar, flour, salt, pepper. I got them with the blue rings to match my kitchen. I paid good money for them back then and now it is safe to say they would be hard to sell.
