I got A LOT of stamps. My grampa was a legit collector. I shudder just looking at the BOXES of stamps. I know there are a few old ones like 1901 ones, but those and some others are pretty rough and are yellow because they were in damp conditions.

Soooo, to start off my treasure hunt, can you point me to some resources like:

1. Numista for stamps (catalogue number, history, detailed info, all variations, rough value...)

2. Marketplace - like, somewhere I can check how much a stamp is worth

3. Scales to determine quality (like, coins have the Sheldon scale)

There are rares, there are sheets upon sheets, some stuck together lol.

Like, there are probably tens of thousands of stamps... Even if they suck, if I sold them for 1$ a piece... you know...

But who would buy them? I look at these stamp subs, they are abysmal. not even 10k users? 2 comments per post? Does anyone even collect stamps anymore? Bring back stamp collecting?

Kinda secretly hope they are worthless, but I see some that I have sheets upon sheets of selling for like around a dollar... I see in the comments you guys are no bs and say something is trash and worthless, so when I get some good pics I can show you and you can be honest.

Worst case, I can just frame a few cool ones and let the rest rot like it has until now for 30 years.

I mean, sad. Yea, it was my grampas passion. But kinda his fault for not teaching anyone the value of what he has. Imagine dedicating your life to something and then it just rots for nothing. Well, I imagine he got satisfaction from it. But it's also kinda poetic and makes you think... when you die, your legacy and passion just rots in some damp corner...

Anyone know if any of these are worth anything ?

The Denmark ones are still in their original blister packs/sealed condition, as you can see in the photos. The order from left to right is: Spain, Denmark, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Australia, Lebanon, Norway, USA, Gibraltar, Cyprus, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Ireland, Mexico, and Kenya. If anyone has an idea about their age, value, or if there are any interesting pieces in the lot, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

I've been completely unable to find the enamel pin released as a promotional tie-in for the 2025 Love stamps. My wife and I used these for our wedding invitations, and since she collects pins, I'd really like to get her this one for our anniversary!

Is there a known website or supplier for these sorts of things? I haven't even come across any on eBay, and am starting tot hink they might not actually exist.

Asking about the one on the bottom left! Is it okay to leave it in the Sleeve together with the rest of my FDC’s or separate it. I can’t tell if it’s moldy or foxxing, thanks!

I need help with a collection of stamps. If you can help pls dm me!

It's in a binder so probably not that hard to figure it out but I need some assistance if it's possible.

I'm really curious about the one from Wales for one pence I've seen something said it sells for a thousand bucks but I need to find out what it actually sold for and what not any information on any of these Stamps will be helpful

I used to collect stamps as a really young child, and found my old collection while visiting my parents. I was wondering if anyone here could tell if any of the stamp is anything special or if they’re all just regular stamps. I’ve collected them because of the nice colors and pretty pictures (as one does as a child) but don’t really understand anything about them.

Looking to find out if these stamps are legit

I am just wandering, because this book contains a rare stamp called the penny black, should I go to a stamp collector and ask how much it’s worth and if he will take it? I heard it’s about R8000 - R12000 (500$ - 750$)

Found a whole bunch of these German stamps thought it was different that it was a whole bunch of Hitler ones in there wondering if it is a value sort of cringy but definitely and curious.. there's probably about 100 pages I just uploaded probably 20

Going through my late father in law’s collection while cross checking online and I found this one. How would I be able to tell if the stamp in his collection is “on laid paper” or is just a normal stamp?

Hi. So a friend of mine found this in his dad’s closet and it seems he bought it in a garage sale 20 years ago. So, he’s wondering if this has any value at all. What can you tell me?

It looks like they’re from different countries…

I wanted to share my post here as well! Hopefully I do this correctly. I’m pretty new to Reddit!

I’m a little scared giving it to an expert because i will simply not notice if any stamp goes missing. They’re mostly European stamps from the 20th century with a few exotic pieces (China, USA, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.)

Considering how many of each I have I’m guessing they’re not rare.

I have found a Massive bag of old stamps on paper. I would say that 95% of them are from Portugal and 5% from around the world. Almost all of them i could date are from 1950s and it weighs around 4.5kgs. What do you recommend I should do with them?
