Great question. As a stamp collector and dealer, it does my heart good to see new blood! To find potential customers or traders, start with the commitment that you want to be part of the proud circle of collectors. First, look in the local newspapers to see if there are any stamp clubs in your area, and MINGLE. Be a regular. Second, go to any local or major stamp shows. As a non-table holder, get some of the brochures, magazines and other material to give you some insight as to who is looking to buy.
If you are really serious about your collecting, JOIN the American Philatelic Society...their newsmagazine is worth the membership fee alone. They also have 'circuits' to offer your stamps to collectors who request the appropriate circuits...but it takes a while for the circuit books to get around and to bring you money.
Also, get a copy of the Scott Stamp Monthly and the weekly Linns and Mekeels and Stamps (do a Google search to their sites). Write to the editors and vendors. Make yourself known.
Over short while, if you mingle with other collectors that are noted in these papers, join clubs and write classified ads with your material, the flow of business will start.
And most of all, enjoy!
Linn magazine's ads are eye openers for new collectors. Believe me, you will see "real" prices which are far different then Scott catalogue.

Are any of the 25 cent US postage stamps collectors items?
Not really yet-- they are too common to be scarce, but stamp collectors are saving them, so in a way they are collectors' items, and new collectors want them. My advice, keep one or two good copies of any that you have for your collection or for your children . Mint US stamps are worth their face value to use as postage, so use yours that way, if you need postage. Otherwise, if you have more than one, you may be able to trade them for stamps of similar value. . Or give them to a collector friend. Collectors always appreciate the thought even it they do not need the stamp. .
