I may not ever have to buy another stamp

to mail a letter.

Bought a huge collection from an estate for a few hundred dollars. Tons on sheets of uncir., unused stamps from the 30s on. Turns out you can still use these old stamps to mail letters. I more than doubled my investment just using them for postage. Also turns out that is about what they are worth. You can buy old unused stamps online for less than face value. I'll need some large envelopes to get 49 one cent stamps on them. I've been mailing my bills in with one 29 cent stamp and 2 10 centers.

I've already sent some old unused postcards to friends with old stamps on them just for fun.
