Hello SCF and thanks for all the knowledgeable people here that takes time out to share their knowledge with people. Kudos!
Now a question about selling sets.

If you were selling all your stamps and had sets would you list them as sets or sale individual stamps out of the set. For example lets say--The Trans-Mississippi Exposition or The Pan-American Exposition? I'll throw in some BOBs for example as well 1st and 2nd Airmail Issues or even all The Special Deliveries as a set or even The Parcel Post or Parcel Postage Due to the Postal Notes and The Special Handling just to name a few as I know there are more.

Are the sets more valuable as sets or singles knowing that some buyers may only need 1 or so singles to make their sets and some may not be able to afford the whole set at one time? I know a sale maybe a sale if you are selling everything and I know condition is the over all gauge when it comes to selling.

Thanks for feed back family and Happy New Year to all the family members here!

Expensive stamps are probably better sold as singles while common ones are better sold as sets.

High value stamps with more than slight damage or poor grade are easier to move in a set.

selling sets is better because you cannot find all stamps in set in the same time time go and stamps become into disappear and more expensive than last time
