  I have been asked to collate with a view to selling a rather large collection of stamps. I may have to take them to Stanley Gibbons in London for auction but I was hoping a Forumite or someone known to them could offer advice and assistance as I have absolutely no knowledge of the subject.
  There is also a large collection of DVDs' and collectable books to be assessed but that is a later project.

  There used to be a very good stamp shop at the top of the Old High Street in Folkestone, we have a gentleman from Eyethorne that values ours but he is in the process of moving at the moment.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
