Last weekend, the Kingston Stamp Club held its Spring Stamp Festival at Crossroads United Church. My first stop, as always, was the club consignment table. Their pricing and selling system is effective and after perusing tables full o' goodies, I was checked out with my consignment items (above and below) in my reusable shopping bag. I was especially pleased to find two tins full o' stamps! Who doesn't like a tin or cigar box?
Also, several stock pages of mint Canadian postage, albeit 5-6 cents in the majority. However, I did find several blocks in the 10-25 cent range. (It's tough to find an envelope big enough to effectively hold first-class postage in these small denominations.) Over $38 face value of stamps for $13.
Then I was off perusing the sale tables. I picked up a few items from Verona's Roy Lingen.
Also three small stamp-block albums from seller Don. Over $53 face value of 5-25 cent stamps for $4.50:
I was hoping to pick up some black stamp mounts but didn't find any dealers at the show selling supplies. Among the club consignment items, check out this three-dollar U.S. album with some high values, open view of the top photo items:
What a haul. Glad you found some goodies to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was, Page! You're ahead of me. I have a mailing going to you tomorrow in which I say 'check out my haul'. You can now disregard that! The sorting has started...

I retrieved my Canadian stamp collection when in Ontario this year. I last added to it in 1984. I'm beefing up the Newfoundland section these days using Facebook marketplace.
ReplyDeleteHi Drew,
ReplyDeleteIt's a hobby that can stay dormant for awhile. I worked at it bit by bit over the years, but having more free time to devote to it sure helps. Newfoundland is a very attainable goal and not too overwhelming!
Enjoy, and thanks for your comment,
Eric
