I hate postage stamps. [View all]

Since I've retired from antiquing, I've been consigning stuff locally to get rid of the stored treasures. Over the years I've bought postage stamps at yard sales whenever I see them, figuring someday I'd try to get interested in them and try to sell them. That never happened and I still have zero interest. I managed to sort through the postal office commemorative sets pretty easily and price them, but now I've moved on to old, loose stamps. If one catches my eye, I try to look it up and see if it might have some value. Of course, it all depends on things like grading as well as rarity, so I'm finding one that sold for $500 while another sells for $5. It's driving me nuts. Now I've just run across stamps that have something called a "z grid" that sell in the millions so now I'm afraid to sell the loose ones. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.
