👍👍 I had some stamps from my grandfather. I called the museum and was able to get some guidance as to what to do on the phone. Truly kind and knowledgeable staff. I had been to one other appraiser who said he'd review the stamps. I drove an hour and a half to see him, and he didn't even bother to open...
