Postage Stamp Collecting

I was not aware of CTN until today when I checked into this online website Postage Stamp Collecting and found these great sets of stamps. If you are a stamp collector, you simply must look at these. There is an Elvis and a Marilyn Monroe set of stamps that really caught my eye. You Beatles fans and Star Wars fans will find great collections of their stamps, plus a whole lot more. Not only stamps but they have all kinds of great collectibles and they have become very successful retailers in this industry. There is jewelry and coins also and I know there are a great many coin collectors out there. They also can be seen on CSN on TV. It is very entertaining and you can certainly learn a lot from them about collectibles.

Gold Prices Push Consumers to Sell

A new kind of gold rush is unfolding at jewelry stores and pawn shop counters, featuring not prospectors, but buyers. White collar workers, retirees and many others have been digging through jewelry boxes and safety deposit boxes to cash in, as gold prices flirt with $1,000 an ounce. Coins, old wedding rings, necklaces given by ex-boyfriends, hand me down gold pieces, everything is fair game when it brings this kind of profit. If you have some extra money now is a good time to hit the pawn shops for some real bargains and they should get even more valuable with the U.S. dollar going down so bad. I don't think I have anything that valuable around here so no use looking. :0)
