Hi Carol,

Hi, I have inherited a large number of cancelled stamps from the US and Canada. My father was a collector and also sold stamps in several stamp magazines. I would love to donate these to anyone interested but especially young collectors. Many are in cellophane envelopes with some sort of numbers on the envelopes. Please let me know if your organization is interested in this donation. I live locally and could drop the stamps off almost anytime.
