The Value Of Stamps With No Value

What started me off on this wide and varying topic today was my exposure to the wonderful, quite beautiful stamps with most valuable labels attached of no value at all () of the Czech Republic's UNESCO souvenir sheets (miniature sheets for some).

Issued over several years, each one showing wildlife from different regions.

What is the value of a stamp-like label with no value?

Well, to start with, it does have value. Great and lasting and important value. It acts to draw attention to those things in our lives that deserve appreciation, that we have perhaps taken for granted or ignored as unimportant.

Appreciation: Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things (My words attached here), whether large or small.

There are probably many sheets (miniature or otherwise) and tabs and labels and triptych (French: triptyque) stamps / labels (A se-tenant strip of three related stamps forming one overall design).

Puzzler, please don't let Rod see this, I am not sure it will be good for his heart. Stamps and Cinderella labels combined. I am not sure, but I have a feeling that might give him apoplexy and a stroke all at once. Please have some concern for our other SCF brothers and don't scan material that you know will send them off the deep end!

Stamps with no value are great fun...a few of us here exchange pre cancels by the packet..i always finde 2 or 3 I can use..and then theres the cinderellas..yes, it goes beyond value.a friend of mine spends $80 to a thousand dollars for a cover from small or little known prisoner of war camps...but does he have more fun ????
