No doubt you have left instructions in your will as to how to properly dispose of the stamps and covers?
I haven't done this yet myself, but it will be part of my next version of my will.

Once upon a time I won an eBay lot of MNH Canadian centennial definitives, a huge pile of them numbered according to the Darnell catalogue. It was the complete catalogue listing (at the time) minus the really rare stuff, some of the printed on gum side / imperforate pair type of things. They were stored on maybe 25 or 30 small thick white stock cards, all nice and neat. And then I lost them. I looked repeatedly for a nice stack of white stock cards, unable to imagine where on earth I had put these things.
For about 5 years, I couldn't find them. Every time I started on another big reorganization project, I looked through whatever box I was working on but they never showed up. Until one day they did, nice and neat on a pile of 25 or 30 BLACK stock cards. Yeesh.

Smauggie, we can write a letter or put the stamps in the trust or whatever,if the kids do not have the patience to deal with them what can you do? I do not plan on parting with my stamps as some people i know have done..what happens to them after me is not my concern !

I remember when you found them, Ryan. It was like the return of the prodigal son.

Well either BobG can take the stamps down to Shrub Oak for a yard sale or the kids can take the stamps to Henry Gitner 72 miles away on route 84 in Middletown,N.Y. Henry will buy anything philatelic...one fellow in our club used to purchase large lots of stamps..take what he wanted and drove the rest to Gitner for whatever he paid . I remember wishing i had some of the collections of friends..but when they passed away it was not the same and i did not have the heart for them !

Phil:
I did not realise you were that close to Henry Gitner's shop.
Next time I go down to Red Hook, we're going to Henry's.
Let's see... 72 miles x 1.6 = 115 km... so it's about an hour and a half drive.

Phil...all kidding aside, Disn.t Henry Ginter pass way around two years ago ? Both myself and Ed Seifert would park our arses at Henry's bourse and spend hours going thru those small glassines all sorted by country and scott's catalog #. Every so often Collie would grab the Manchucho box and look for varieties.

I have misplaced stamps and covers many times, missing one right now (even saw it a couple weeks ago). Sorry to say "old age" but that's my excuse. I've occasionally bought something that I already owned because I did not put it in the right spot in the first place. The weird part is I have a place in my book for this, behind the place where they will be mounted or will be replacing an item needed an upgrade. All I can say, part of the fun of stamp collecting.

You know the feeling, looking for the lost sheep...an early Guatemala postal stationary cover with a big monoplane image on it. It should be with the better covers but its not. I don't believe i have ever lost an item permanently..so it will probably show up in some crazy place..but right now i am a bit deflated...of course if it was a commoner i would not miss it !! Sometimes i get the feeling i just have too much "stuff" !
