“Anyone may have diamonds:
An heirloom is an ornament
of quite a different kind.”
– Elizabeth Aston
Reach out to a collectibles dealer
Collectibles dealers and Collectors alike may be the best
route to consider, for a few reasons:
- They are often local, which means it may be easier for them
to drive to your home (or work, or somewhere closer to
you) to review and talk about your items in person.
- They are experienced in various items or fields, so they can
essentially provide the same information an antique store
would give you, without the overhead and fees.
- If they are truly not interested in your item, they will not
waste your time, yet they may give you a reputable contact
of someone who will be interested.
- Although they may not be able to professionally appraise
your items, they are often genuinely interested in collecting,
and will have gathered vast knowledge to help you out in
determining the true value of your items. •

Collector interested in the following:
Word of caution: NEVER sell an item or promise to
ship it somewhere until you have received your funds, and they
have cleared your bank. NEVER send or promise payment
through online money transfer companies, and always send
packages as ‘registered’ – keep every single receipt and proof
of purchase/sale that you can! Safety first.
The first postage stamps were made
available on May 1, 1840 in England,
and it didn’t take long for the hobby of
stamp collecting to arise. Philately – the
collection and study of stamps – has
been alive and well ever since. The most
expensive Canadian stamp sold was
the 1951 12d black Canada stamp, for
$225,000 in 2013. When 51,000 of
these unique stamps originally printed,
only 1,450 were sold, as only a limited
number of people could afford to make
the purchase and not use it to send mail.
