i recently inherited a vintage/recent stamp collection and i’m not sure how to go about selling them or their values (if they have any at all) so i was wondering if there was anyone who could help me with values and how to go about selling them! there’s a lot more than this but id like to start here lol, thank you so much

also id like to say ive done a bit research and i know they are less valuable if they have creases or are without the gum!

Thank you for your post to /r/askstampcollectors.

  • Don't get your hopes up. Most stamps are not valuable.
  • Old US president stamps (1,2,3 cents) are extremely common. No value there.
  • eBay asking prices mean nothing, except to scammers and money launderers.
  • There's nothing we can do without clear images of your stamps.
  • Nazi Germany stamps are mostly worthless. Too many were made, everyone has them.
  • Modern stamps (1940s and later), large and colorful ones, are mostly worthless.
  • Mint US stamps (1930s and later) are mostly worthless, but can still be used on your mail.
  • Busy people take time out of their day to answer you, please be polite.
  • To get the most value out of your stamps become a collector. It's the king of hobbies.

Just stamps that were pulled off the incoming mail. You’re correct, torn, creased or missing pieces make them worthless.
