appreciate an email from someone willing to "mentor" me a bit. Thanks. Chuck

Hi Charles:

Welcome to the world of stamps.

The following online links, which I recommend, may shed
some light on your question.

I Inherited a Stamp Collection... by Leonard Piszkiewicz

American Philatelic Society (APS) Question & Answer page

Good Luck in your information search. Please remember
that one option is to think about continuing the collection
yourself or passing it down to children or grandchildren
as a "family heirloom" from grandpa (even if NOT worth
a world cruise).

Stamp collecting is primarily about learning things
from stamps and having fun. You can't put a price on that.

Best wishes to you.
