Herrick's Stamp Market Report

http://www.herrickstamp.com/stamp_m...t_report.php

Got disappointed when I read the report. Europa stamps and Scandinavia are in the least wanted list. I collect Europa, Iceland and Sweden. My Europa collection is almost complete from 1956 to 2005. I have no intention to sell it now but when I start it I thought it was a popular topic (back then I switched from UN to Europa because of that). It appear definitively not in America, maybe in Europe. A good thing is that I collect mnh stamps which are in demand.

In the most wanted list, South America ranks 6. I also collect Brazil so that's better

I found their statement that most collections do not contain rarities to be interesting. I am under the impression that most collections for sale at auction would have had the the rarities removed for separate auctions. All of the auction catalogs confirm this theory by listing the rarities and then the country collections. By the time Herrick's would get a collection to auction off, it has probably been stripped of most high value items.
