Time to break the surface again with some more collecting news. Two tons of stamps -- yes, you're reading that right, 4000 pounds -- were auctioned off by David Feldman in Switzerland. The lot, once owned by British dealer Barney Kleinberg, fetched 3.25 million Swiss francs ($1.88 million). Definitely not chump change there.

Note to wife: don't throw stamps out. They're valuable.
