Having made two trips through the packet of stampsyou will have about exhausted the possibility of identify-ing further stamps at this time. (You will be surprisedhow much the rest of the family will have helped you upto this point.) Now put aside Piles Nos. 2 and 3 and concentrateon Pile No. 1 — the stamps you have identified as tocountry of origin. If this is not a large pile you may sort the stamps intoseparate piles each of a single country. However, if thepile is quite large, you had better proceed by sortingalphabetically: all "A" countries in one pile, "B" coun-tries in another, and so on. Then go back to the "A"countries and sort into individual countries. Again Icaution you, do not try to do too many operations in onesorting. No matter how expert you will in time become,you will find it necessary to sort any large accumulationof stamps by stages. If you get to the point where youcan identify the country of origin of every stamp issuedyou still will have to sort into alphabetical piles beforeattempting to sort a large lot into individual countries. |
