Not as bad as people using AI to "write" descriptions - which seems to happen in the majority of cases. Some utter gibberish results. |

The $1200 price seemed high and pages looked too new as if few stamps. If I recall your rule of thumb was 6 cents per stamps in general album. I just would want is the album. |

The price seems steep for both, especially if there aren't any photos of stamps. It's good to get a couple thousand stamps in a volume set (10,000 is better ;) ) |

I noticed the seller dropped the price to $950. Still not there in my mind for what's likely the most common stamps. |

Simple answer here ......... Sellers are at the level where they are selling worldwide stamp collections of all cheap common stamps for over 10 cents per stamp mounted in old albums . They are trying , but I am surprised if they do unless this is a new trend . |

Angore,
With the one you posted at least they included some pictures. Its evident there's nothing there for me though. |

It looks like all the stuff I already own. If my heirs could get 10 cents each for my common stamps, I guess I'd be happy. But I do buy $10-$20 catalog stamps and mount them in the same albums. Maybe I should put them on stock sheets rather than mix them with the cheap stuff? I can see a dealer offering a fixed amount and my kids saying "OK" without really knowing the worth. |

I have been watching and my guess the binder is worth $50 and then 5 cents a stamp for a very common collection. They do not seem to be selling fast.
I do want to purchase a Minkus supreme for an experiment. A new set is around $250 to $350 . |
