   so the best way before is to find a philatelic club in your town and asked   
   them if they could help you. if you go directly to a vendor , price would be   
   decrease in order to buy the collection at the best price.   
   personnaly , i was in the same situation a few years ago and finally decided   
   to continue the stamps collection with my young daughter (she is 8 ) , we   
   discovered some geographics and history things with them . i found good   
   advice when i came to the philatelic club in my town . they helped me to   
   order and classify this collection and now i know really their value.
