So, when I was really young, stamp collecting was a thing, just like coin collecting. I would go to the post office and get corner sections (the most unique by collector standards) and treat them really well.
Proof coins from 30-60 years ago are actually worth something. Turns out, stamp collecting never went anywhere and all those perfect corner stamps are basically worth face value 35 years later. That’s true of even older stamps, too.
What many people don't realize is that stamps with pricing on them do not expire (as long as they haven't been used). You can buy tons of older stamps on Ebay for about 50%-60% of their face value. If you are doing a lot of shipping, you can save some decent money on postage.

So, might as well use them.

Someone got a stamp collection in the divorce.
