I've got this office job in which I inherited a small box of stamps from the previous worker who used to clip and save un-canceled stamps - the idea being that they would be re-used on other office mailings, personal mailings, etc.
They've been collecting for about 10 years though, so there's quite a number of older ones. I'm wondering if stamps that have been cut from an envelope have the potential to gather value or are they pretty much duds, unless I happen to keep them around for another 50 years. (the theory there being that any collectible will gain value if you wait long enough)

I'm sure someone would love to take a look at your collection, and sort/identify your inventory.
They might ask for a modest stipend for their time, or perhaps a stamp or two they like/need as payment.
It would be a good place to start - accurately identifying them on your own would be a very, very long and difficult process. Not to mention you'd either need to borrow or buy several identification books.
It's worth a 10 minute converstation. If not, I'll buy them outright from you. How many stamps are in the box?
