Have you ever noticed that the VF stamp you buy is F-VF when you get ready to sell it?

Stamps must degrade in the album.

Don't worry, Greg, the stamp hasn't changed. I always blame it on my vision getting worse!

Does getting a grading outfit to grade it and certify it help? Thinking of the recognized expertization services. Doesn't PSE grade and encapsulate a stamp? Of course you would then be faced with another party accepting the assigned grade.

Are there albums to house encapsulated stamps? Or you'd need a fair few of those little hinges to mount them onto pages - and of course your binders wouldn't fit many pages, so you'd need a big bookcase!
