   Hi, my name is Jill :)   
      
   I'm not familiar with stamps nor with stamp collecting.  My 82 year old   
   father has sent me some stamps and he wishes me to inquire whether they   
   might be worth something.  I have no idea how to go about this.  A friend   
   suggested I inquire on a stamp newsgroup so here I am.   
      
   My father is a retired Colonel, USMC.  He sent me some stamps issued during   
   the VietNam war so here I am.  He also sent me Wright Brothers "airmail" 0.6   
   cents stamps.  Now he tells me he has panes of Edgar A. Poe (Annabel Lea)   
   stamps, also not cancelled.   
      
   I live near Memphis, TN, and have no idea where to have these stamps   
   appraised.  But he thinks they might be worth something.  Any suggestions?   
      
   Jill
