    First Day Covers - Anyone knowledgable?

    As the title really, recently emptied the loft and found a load of first day covers from the late 70's early 80's, on there own I assume most are uninspiring (Lady Di and Price Charles wedding maybe the exception) however the address they have been sent too is very unique and I would say could add a certain something to them for collectors (maybe).

    Where would I start in selling them? CBA to do them individually on eBay would prefer a job lot

      I'd suggest you find an auctioneer that deals in stamps. There's probably a Stamp Collectors UK forum, although if it's like here it will be full of people who have put stamps on letters in the past, or have heard of stamps, but aren't interested in stamp collecting.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Aren't they all? Gonna be a bit of a mess if we have address's that aren't unique.

          I can guarantee the address listed is one of the most famous in the world, and most exclusive

            You could be CUK forum personality of the year for that. Well you could back in 2011. Cost has gone up since.

                    I reckon stamp collecting is an old man's hobby (*) and slowly dying out, literally.

                    So I'd flog them quick before the last of the old buffers who may be interested in them pops off.

                    A friend of mine, mad keen on stamp collecting, disagrees vehemently with my theory, but then he is 70.

                    (*) and I do mean man, because I don't think many women collect stamps, unless you count HMQ with her Royal Collection.
