This is a common Scott #300 fully perforated on all sides. It has no value. #316 is a coil stamp with straight edges on the left and right sides. This…
I am not an expert on foreign stamps. I waited to see if any of our other community members had info on this before responding. If it’s not in the Sco…
These are not postage stamps. They are some kind of retail coupon. I’ve seen them before in collections. They do not have any value to stamp collector…
Thanks for sharing! This is a parcel postage due stamp issued in 1929, identified as Italy Scott #Q32. This is just the right side of the full stamp. …
Hi @rsb_stamps ! Gold Replicas and First Day Covers take up a lot of space and unfortunately have no real value other than novelty. If you have older…
The surcharge is reading up, not down, so this would make it R160
Thanks for sharing. These are all common. 99.99% of all unused stamps from the united states issued after 1930 are worth face value. The unused ones a…
🤣 @jblaha
@zuzu make sure to connect with @thephilatelicrelic He specializes deep into revenues and likely has some of the best reference material I’m aware of…
This is Scott #1282 and was issued in 1965. In unused and ungraded condition, it is basically worth face value if used as postage.
That is fascinating and thanks for sharing! I have to ask, what about these stamps caused you to go down the rabbit hole?
never seen hat kind of impression before. very cool. thanks for sharing!
This looks like a youth collection. Meaning a collector who put very little to no money into their collection. All common material with no value.
This is either Scott #331 or #374 in which both are fairly common. Yours looks like it’s been through a rough time lol. It has $0 value.
@jblaha 🤣
Wow very nice! Here’s a block of 4 I sold earlier this year
Excellent material!
I should note that Scott provides a minimal value to all stamps, even if the stamp is actually worth less. These are all post 1930 mint issues, in whi…
Are you sure those are not silk fibers? That issue contains many and I see a bunch in that area. I’m not seeing 4 vertical lines in that area on R118….
Thanks for sharing @jblaha ! 😊
It looks like they are perforate 11, but can’t be sure. In any case the 10c issue of this design, regardless of Scott number, has no value unless grad…
Thanks for sharing. This is Scott #319 on left and #305 on right. Based on their centering, they have no value.
Thanks for sharing! These are 100 years old! Neat, but common and do not have any monetary value.
Yes there was a playing card tax. You can find them in the Scott Specialized Catalogue. The others are not in Scott. I’ve seen them many times in vari…
I’m assuming these are all post 1940 issues. I’ve seen many modern commemorative sets like this. They are novelty and do not have any significant resa…
@rsb_stamps I tried a couple apps. None of them worked well or offered accurate pricing. Best thing is to get a Scott catalogue. You can usually find …
Sorry for the late reply here. Gum is important for mint stamps. Those never used. If you are soaking off envelopes then they are used stamps and the …
This is not a reprint. This is a Scott #1. It appears authentic with a red circular date stamp and pen cancelations. Looks to be four margins just rid…
@jblaha a perfect response! you know you’re material 🤓 thank you so much for participating in my forum. I truly appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing. I’m not expert in Austria, but what I do know is that the majority of their stamps, even those over 100 years are common and have …
I’ve used art portfolios similar to this to store large sheets and press sheets.
Hi @tori101. I don’t see any images on your post. Can you please share images of the stamps in question?
Nice examples @waterwizard69 ! Thanks for sharing and contributing 😊
Thanks for sharing. Nothing of value here, but as a whole maybe a few dollars for a beginner collector.
Thanks for sharing! These are all from the 1950s-1970s and they are all common and have no monetary value.
Thanks for sharing. These are from around 1903-1920s, however they are very common and have no monetary value.
Thanks for sharing! this is what we call “Kiloware” in the stamp business. Basically bought and sold in bulk based on the weight. Commonly to find “$1…
They are worth more if genuinely used during period usage, instead of unused stationary. Unless the person is famous there is no impact of value if th…
Thanks for sharing. These are all common and have no resale value accept for a fraction of their face value. Looks to be a common hobbyist collection.
You need a stamp measurment gauge. The sides should also measure perf 11. The stamp design (the colored area on the paper, not all the way to the perf…
@hbabaletskos sorry i did not see your question. most collectors use stockbooks like these/p>
@fabiop WWII illustrated covers generally go around $10-$20 ea. However some can go for much more depending on the design. Also any significant postal…
