unmounted mystery

I am relatively new to the world of rubber stamping and scrapbooking. Let me also say I am hooked! I do however have a complaint. I usually buy unmounted stamps…….they are cheaper and easier to store. Why is it that they are soooo hard to identify??  My husband just bought me a pound of rubber……don’t know why…….guilt over something I’m sure. I sat down to prep them and put them in cases, I couldn’t even figure out what half of them were. Now being a reasonably intelligent woman I thought …..I’ll stamp them then I’ll know. I’d like to say that worked. It didn’t. Even with ink a good many of these stamps were unidentifiable to me. I was also sorting out any duplicate stamps I put the stamps I couldn’t identify in with those. I will pass them on and hopefully someone somewhere will get use out of them. I wish there were a better way.
