Where can I buy stamp collections?

Could you pls help me with this question?

A friend abroad asks me to find for him a stamp collection of American presidents since 1945.

As I never collect stamps, I don't know which are the good places to buy. Should I buy them online or will it be cheaper and safer to find a local store?

My sincere thanks,

    I think your mate's going to be disappointed.

    There have been 12 US presidents since the war but only 7 have had stamps issued by the US Postal Service because the rest are still alive. Full details on this site:

    So you have a choice. Either collect the 7 available and put them in an album or forget about it. There might be other countries which have issued this type of stamp but in my opinion it would make for a poor collection.

    If you still want to go ahead then take the information from the above link and hunt for them on Ebay.

    Thank you very much. I'll look for the incomplete collection, then.
