Dan was incredibly helpful in valuing my stamp collections. His office was a delight with his wonderful treasures, full of colors and full of life. We traded stories, interests, and hobbies. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend paying him a visit should you need an expert’s opinion.
