you didn't say if it was worth it? It may be worth it to you, but I consider creases and pulled perfs as space fillers, and worthless. This is just my opinion, so please if you think its a good deal, than great. Everyone collects differently, that's the beauty of this hobby |

bobgggg
that is a good point and something I considered when bidding.. honestly.. 15 was the top of my bid price..
If it had been perfect, I wouldn't have got it for that price... I do realize that quality of the stamp affects price..
When I buy something like this, I figure I can always get my money back in the future... (if I need to) |

I don't collect mint singles. If as a used stamp, I would not buy one with a crease like that. |

I've not had such luck trying to sell duplicates, etc that have found their way into my collection. Established dealers with strong reputations and a retinue of loyal clients can fetch far more from stamps, it seems, than the small time collector. I view my stamp purchases not as investments, but as expenses supporting an enjoyable hobby... |

Try approaching from a different direction,
Join a stamp club, or find out where you can place
your duplicates at auction.
Even the most mundane will sell.
