Wow! Stamps can worth quite a lot of money if we keep the right ones then. I have kept two albums of stamps.I was collecting when I was a kid and stop collecting ages ago. Perhaps there may be some that worth a bit more. Should get them evaluated one of these days. My older teenage son was eyeing on them. Thanks for posting this great info.
