He’s a very Nice gentleman - but probably very modest “collection!”
.. Has he mentioned his age ? If he's in his late seventies that implies a "boyhood collection" of early and mid fifties . Take the drive. Gas is cheap. Then post the Aaron rookie here.

Agreed. Make the trip. You never know.
I dabble in stamp collecting at times. I was debating whether or not to drive an hour and a half for a $200.00 collection. When I got there she said $200.00 and I saw a cigar box and 6 large bins. I said sure I will have fun going through it. Low and behold when I got home there was $4,226.00 in mint unused US stamps ready for postage. Plus a lot of collectible stamps from around the world. So you never know.
Good Luck
Bob

Robert,

That's kind of like the "Forever" collection with all the unused postage stamps. I suppose you could start using those on shipping packages!

Already have! I will not need to buy another stamp in my life! Some of the Postal workers don't even add the stamp total, they just take my word for it.
