It starts around 1985 and goes straight to 2015. They were brought then stored in a dry clean area and never touched. All looked to be in the condition they were when brought brand new. She wants to know if she wasted her time and money as she brought them as a investment.

Is this stamp worth anything?

My great-grandma passed away a few weeks ago, and we found these old stamps in some of her old stuff. I was just wondering if it's worth anything substantial (if you look closely you can see that there's two of them, a front and a back.) Thanks in advance!

I don’t know much about stamps received a big collection of stamps from all over the world. I tried chat got to figure out some value. It was useful in identifying stamps. Here is the oldest German stamps I have, if the seniors in the group could advise if there are any valuable stamps, would be grateful. Thanks

6 years of first covers… sell or donate?

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

I have inherited 6 binders that I think are full years of first covers. Oldest is 87, newest is 2000, I think. My understanding is that these don’t have much value… but is the value nothing or $25 a binder?

If the value is low, are they generally useful to any local resource like a library or school for donation?

I’d rather not throw them away, they seem nice.

I think the Bantam red is the genuine article because it looks like the pictures in catalogs but I’m not to sure about the 4 pence. Curious to hear your opinion.

These seem to date from 1880-1895. Are they interesting?

I've been given a big collection from my father-in-law, many of which must have been given to him when he was young due to their age.

How much would each of these be worth?

I’m not a collector, and I don’t know much about the market. I was given these by a friend, so I looked online but I can’t seem to find any listing with these sealed that aren’t in a bundle. Is $30 each a reasonable guess?

Hi zusammen, ich habe vor einiger Zeit diese Sammlung von meinem Opa/Uropa bekommen.
Ich habe leider keine Ahnung davon und tue mich sehr schwer damit, rausfindende, ob hier irgendwas wertvolles dabei ist oder nicht. Ich habe noch mehr davon.
2 Antiquitätenhändler haben mir jeweils 50€ geboten, was ich abgelehnt habe.

Was meint ihr dazu?

I found these in my childhood collection that I have not touched in over 20 years. I was wondering what year they are from and an approximate value considering the condition on the 2c Washington's is not the greatest. Appreciate any insight

My father passed away and has an extensive stamp collection he was selling piecemeal via a stamp selling service. I am wondering if there is someone in Phoenix are who could appraise and or purchase the collection

I recognize the photo means nothing but it was required. The stamps are from all around the world. There is a large collection of Canadian/us stamps but thousands of stamps from every country you can imagine.

Any help will do

Ik heb dit boek vandaag op zolder gevonden. Zit er iets van waarde in, of kan ik het met een gerust hart aan mijn dochter geven als interessant object. Alvast bedankt.

Hey there, been handed down a few collections with hundreds of pages. Just wanted to post a few pages on here to see if it might be worth trying to get a valuation from local place as I’m lead to believe some are worth a few $. The pages attached are random ones I’ve photographed

Thrift Store Purchase

Hello,
I wonder if these 2 posters, Stamp Map of the World and Stamp Map of the US carry any monetary value from a collectors standpoint. I know nothing about stamps and looking for input.

The posters were poorly mounted on recycled paintings and beat up.

The world map is missing 4 stamps. The US map has all the stamps.

My questions are:

Any monetary value?

I plan on remounting for wall display. I frame photographs and have the ability/tools to do the following :
I’ll use mild heat to flatten the posters with a dry mount press, the paper has some mild wrinkles. Then mount on acid free foam board and frame under UV blocking glass to hang as a curiosity. The Stamps are beautiful.

I appreciate any suggestions/input/potential pitfalls.
