First day hunting after going back to school = Great! 22k Stamps

[Spartcom5]

Had to drag myself out of bed today because I was incredibly tired after going back to school but nonetheless still got up and it was worth it! Got these two huge albums full of 22k stamps, all sorts of themes, looks like Newsom was the guys name who subscribed to receive them, there are 148 stamps for $14. Never bought stamps before but for $14 can't go wrong.

Got a ring which I think may be 10k for $40 weighs 6.6 grams. The marking is weird it says J0K Spring.. the mark looks like 10k but is J0k, haven't tested it but it really does look like gold. Then got these two nice bracelets sterling for $3 weighs 50 grams.

Finally got this bangle which I though was ivory lol it was only $1. I think now after research it may be celluloid, I tried to take a picture of stripes on the inside, they don't seem perfect like celluloid, thoughts? My money is on plastic or celluloid.

I would have bought the stamps also. Good buy IMO.

Can't go wrong for $14. I think the gold is a very thin layer so the gold value is very little. Cool item though.

Well yea the gold is very very little but with this many stamps I think I'd defintely get more than $14 in collector value! Probably holding onto them as i don't have a stamp collection.

Those are really cool and you also have the original paper version on a First Day Cover.

The stamps are neat and I would've bought them too. The bracelet looks like ivory from the photos?!? There are tests you can do on it to find out for sure. Does it look like "squares" (crosshatching) under magnification? The real ivory I've seen has that but I'm not sure if all ivory does.
