Restarting my stamp collection
For some reason I lost interest in collecting stamps about 47 years or
so ago. When I was home to see my mom last month she gave me my stamp collection that she had been holding onto for all these years along with a whole box of stamps that I had not put into the book. I'm ready to start collecting again but have no idea what company(ies) are out there to get supplies from such as books and so forth. Can someone suggest where to start.

To fil in your 47 year gap, I suggest you buy some cheap "kiloware" bags from such a fair, or if you don;t have any locally, from eBay, etc. You may find catlogues there or in library sales of withdrawn books -- you won't need the latest issues for a while yet!

Thank you Chris Thanks so very much to all of those who have replied with suggestions and links. I've visited the Virtual Stamp Club and have found a wealth of help there also. I'm eager to get started again and hopefully will have the collection back in order again. My mom also gave me some of my dads extra first day covers that he had so that gives me another collection to get started on. Again, thanks for all the assistance.
