Your wish is...... Granted!

@Dave Sheridan There are 2 covers there. As I understand it, it is a known forger for this area.

Music is often what brings back memories for me. Certain songs put me somewhere or certain bands in some cases. I'm currently clearing out my old house which was or family house for 60+ years. I bought out my brothers and moved in with everything still in there from my parents. There are over 3000 slides that I've recently boxed up. As I'm the youngest, many slides are from before I was born. I've also purchased a high end slide scanner to scan them all to share with my 2 brothers and all our children and grandchildren. I'm looking forward to what I find while not looking forward to the time it will soak up.

@Dave Sheridan I have 40 - 50 photo albums as well as photos in folders (from the chemist). Many I won't copy simply because they are pictures of scenery from trips. If they have people in them I will copy them but otherwise it will get crazy!

I've had people excitedly showing me 1940s and 1950s Australian stamps thinking that they have just discovered their ticket to early retirement. They generally don't appreciate being told that they might get a couple of coffees or (if the are in great condition) a meal at a pub for what they have. People have lots of misconceptions about what is old and most have no concept of the post being the major form of communication for such a long time.

Go into partnership with Nostradamus. It could yield great results..... Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I remember reading a story about Warren Buffett in his early days. A small group thought that they could corner the market on a particular stamp and then sell it back into the market at a large markup. They couldn't do it and Buffett said he used the stamps for postage over the subsequent years. For every 100 things you may try as an investment, only one or two may work out. That's not to say don't do it, but don't plan on winning too often.
