    Hi,

    We were searching the attic for some old photos and came across my old schoolboy SwiftSure Stamp Album which was in surprisingly good condition for its age of over 50 years.

    Seems none of the young ones we know are remotely interested in them and looking on the web at this article from 6 years ago, seems even the serious collectors find its becoming a worthless pastime.
    Last post for stamp collectors?

    Seems a nephew helped himself to some of them including the British ones but still about 50 pages from countries around the world.

    Just wondered if any CG member was into such collecting and might have any interest for them ?

      Been there done that.
      Ricky old friend. What's the betting? You find yourself once again, re-lighting the fires of philately. Go on. Give it a go.
