There is really no set time to get a decent set going. Some people will save up their money and go online to EBay and bid for all they want. If that is not an option for you then you should try and get one stamp a month until you get what you need.
Contact a stamp collecting society/organisation and ask them if anyone could help you. They would know better than anyone as that is their specialty. Ask them if you'd do better selling the collection as a whole, or selling the stamps in smaller groups or individually. Another idea is to take your collection (or part of it) around to a few shops that trade in stamp/coin collections and a few get quotes. Try getting at least three quotes to start to form a picture of what it might be worth.
You can do it several ways. Take it into a local stamp dealer. Put it up for auction online. Send it to a philatelic auction house. You can sell the collection intact, or you can piece it out by individual items (good if you have high value items) or divide it up into categories, by country or type of item.
It will take Mark 10 days to organize his stamp collection into a 239-page book at a rate of 25 pages per day.
It should be delivered the next day with a First Class stamp.
You can look at any online catalog. But it will take a long time to evaluate a collection if you don't know much about stamps. If the collection is US only, Mystic Stamps had a good online catalog. If it is world wide, you are going to have to visit many different sites to put it together. Try Scott's Catalog at your local library.

NO MORE THAN TWO DAYS, for sure! You do the math, it takes 3 days from california, it shouldn't take that long from S.C.

Ah, let's take a moment to appreciate the word "decent." It has a short vowel sound, like a gentle brushstroke on a canvas. Just remember to say it with a soft "e" sound, and you'll create a lovely word picture every time.
I hate to tell you, but very little. You can purchase them from a dealer or on eBay for about $2 per cover or even less. They have almost no real gold, such a thin layer that it would take thousands of them to get a measurable amount.
