    Hello,

    I have a collection of more than 500 stamps, most of them are used, they're from all over the world, very few are from Ireland. I'd like to donate this collection. Are you aware if it is possible to do it? Are there any charities who would accept them?
    Thank you.

    What countries and dates? I might be interested.

    Don't think charity shops would know much about stamps.

    If you post a few photos of the older ones, I can check if there is any value. Just make sure they are good photos.

    You could also check some of them out on https://www.stampworld.com/en/maps/Europe/

    Thank you for help and thank you for your advice as well, I'm on that website already :)
    The most valuable stamp that I have is from North Korea and is valued 15 euro. Very few are between 4 and 5, some are between 1 and 2. The majority just a few cents.

    Beware of the values. Typically if you get half that you are doing very well.
