I have a bunch of cancelled Canadian stamps (torn from envelopes, paper around them and stamps not damaged) if anybody would like them.

I was saving them for the OSPCA here because they had a collector who would give them a donation for the stamps, but it looks like they’re no longer doing that. (In fact I think that OSPCA branch has actually closed.)

So please let me know if anyone would like all or some of them.

The timing of this kind offer is interesting. My friend and I are joining the local stamp club in January. She inherited a collection, and my father has offered me his.

I would be quite interested in the stamps. I know almost nothing, but they are so pretty.

Did you get any other takers?
