I've been replacing the paper envelopes for plastics ones, would that be a good practice?
I think they are better preserved that way, but you are the experts, please let me know.

I have also these already on ebay, just to make a test ans see how it goes


and what can you tell me about this one?


I'm sorry for putting you guys to work at this time of the day, I've been told in here that you guys like pictures, well, I'm just warming up :P

Thx!

Bob

Hi Bob

Welcome to the forum.

There are several trains of thought here. For me, the paper ones would be better simply because stamps have to breathe. Plastic bags 'may' cause sweating which could cause stains or oxidation later on down the line (?). The plastic ones you are referring to are ok for short periods of time but I would not suggest, in my opinion anyway, to keep stamps in them permanently.

Hope this helps

Thank you Bujutsu for your quick response and advice, yes, all I want is that the stamps get well preserved as they were until today.

Thx!

Bob, as Bujutsu says plastic can be a potential problem for stamps. You live in Panama which is hot and humid so be careful in storing your stamps.

The second stamp you scanned is Scott # 968. My 2010 Scott catalogue shows the used value at $0.20. It has a nice CDS.

My apologies for not giving you the numbers and CV for the stamps you showed. I guess I was more concerned about the preservation of the stamps more than anything

As you can see, there are other members more than willing to provide you with the numbers and prices.
