My aunt recently passed away and i aquired her old stamp collection.It is XLCR postage stamp album which she started in 1940 although some of the stamps are dated much earlier. The album is app 80 % full and has roughly 800 - 1000 stamps in it from across the world.Is this album worth keeping or selling or shall i bin it..thank you

Your aunt could have sold it herself, or could have given to to someone else. A collector's item is a work of art, a labor of love, an investment. If you sell it, soon the money is gone. If you keep it - you keep a memory -- it is priceless. If you are not interested nor you are too busy with work or whatsoever - you may hand it over to someone in the family (sibling/nephew/niece) who has the passion for stamps.
