Whats My Stamp Collection Worth ??

My partner BigJose purchased 3 Scott International albums with 11 thousand stamps in them from a dealer at the show yesterday for $150 dollars..if thats any indicator !

What a bargain! Even at a penny a piece your looking at $1100.
Not bad for $150.

i trying to avoid buying any more albums..they take up a lot of space..i am sure most of the 11 thousand stamps are the ones we all have..but Joe is making up collections for a couple of young collectors ..he will burn through some stamp hinges....

And Joe gave me two Macanudos to smoke for going and coming..hope you guys in the back of the van did not mind..its his van !

$150.00 = 15000 cents
15000 cents / 11000 stamps = 1.36 cent/stamp

an incredible deal

I wouldn't even COUNT eleven thousand stamps for $150

Kirk, I would ! but then again I mop teenagers lockerooms for $10.85 an hour !!

thats an awful lot of stamps to count come on phil you will have your hands full here real soon lots to occupy you

Tina, hee hee !!

Well, Phil:

I guess you make a good point. I teach in a Community College in rural North Carolina. A few years ago, I gave an exam on some fairly difficult material. After the exam, I asked one of my students -- a real country boy -- "how was it?"

After a bit of thought, he said, "it wasn't as bad as a sharp stick in the eye."

So, upon reflection, I guess it wouldn't be so bad to count those stamps after all.

I think your friend got a great deal there phil. I would love to find a deal like that.

I started hinging my stamps from poland yesterday and though I thought I had a lot of them I have lots of holes to fill.

Diane, at the small local shows..where dealers are working Joes doing stamp selling part time..you can find Scott International Albums with stamps in the $40 to $50 dollar range...when you go to our friend Bobggggs neighborhood in White Plains all of a sudden the price with the dealers there is $175...i used to be able to continue my Internationals up to 1969..8 books..on ebay for around 40 bucks..but that was then...now some fools will bid them up to 80 or 90 dollars..i dont need them that bad..i want to buy stamps not albums !!
