HI There

I found this forum when searching for "United States Scott 2216-2219" on the internet. I bought these back in 1986 when my friend told me stamps were a "good investment".

The last time I spoke with someone about selling these, he said "start licking". Hmmmm ...

I have two shrink-wrapped (from the post office) sets of twenty five of these sets, plus five additional sets. Can anyone tell me what they are worth, or shall I start licking?

Thanks

If you sold to collectors you might get a premium over face value. They were not a very good investment. Your average dealer is not going to offer more than 70% of face (and likely less).

One seller on StampWants/bidstart is selling for face, and another has twenty or so available at $9.99. By the time you get through the hassle of monetizing them, it might have been less stress to just use them on mail...

As soon as I say this, someone who collects shrinkwrapped sheets is going to pipe up and point out how valuable they are to collectors of shrinkwrapped sheets...

G'Day Bob how wet is your tongue naa just joking,

to the forum mate.

Welcome edibob.

I think the best investment you will have in stamps is in the fun of learning and collecting and sharing. Hard to put a price on those sometimes.

Welcome to the forum, edibob, and good luck moving those stamps.

A question I have to ask is: Are you two still friends?
