My name is Richard. I am by the way a retired mail carrier (United States Postal Service). I am returning to collecting after a very long hiatus (about 20 years or so). The reason I stopped was the expense. It became very costly and I had a family to support and two sons to educate.
To make a long story short I picked it up again a couple of years ago, (lots of years to make up), and am looking to sell my extra stock, which is becoming more and more as time goes on.
I am not looking to make any money on this. In most cases just asking for face value plus postage and cost of fees for Pay Pal, (if that is used). I do have some items which I paid a premium for and if put up for sale would have to ask the amount it cost me. Not too much of that though.
I enjoy the hobby thoroughly and like most collectors, I find the chase the most enjoyable aspect of it.
Welcome Rich. I too restarted my collecting interests in later years, and found that my tastes had changed quite dramatically from teen and younger years, when I put it on hold for almost 40 years. Have almost unloaded all those earlier collections.
