Hi kinetic2012

The latest Scott I have for Peru is 2002. The price probably has not changed much in 2012.

I do not know why they are considered *RARE*. Usually Latin America Postal Tax stamps are plentiful. The low Scott value seems to substantiates this.

Was the notice from an individual or company that is trying to sell them to you?

Also remember that rare and valuable often are not synonymous.

Words to live by.

Hi

Maybe the word Scarce would be better than Rare.

I have seen a few of these in the collection of a friend who specializes in Peru.

As I have stated in postings here in the past, the word "RARE" is used too often and loosely.

I think the term "RARE" is used predominantly by sellers hoping to entice unwitting buyers to purchase their overpriced products.

right on, Tom

So are SCARCE thats all :) ?

Judging from Jerry B's post, they also appear to be INEXPENSIVE.

I'm not sure how their being MINT contributes to your good luck but I guess all things are possible.

If you don't mind my asking, did the individual who gave you notice that the stamps were VERY RARE give you some indication of their value?

Tomiseksj:
I received this message :)

^I had seen in page of the album 2 stamps (on 1968 - PRO - PERIODISTAS). Stamps very rare on the market !, is the 2 absent in my collection and are hard to find in albums.^

They do seem to be very scarce on the Internet. I cannot find one seller on ebay or Delcampe that has at least RA56-RA57 for sale.

Perhaps the reason that they are not found could be on the demand side.

Yes thats the thing nobody have it for sale, and those are MINTS.

I revised one of the Best Websites of Peru and they dont have the Picture either.

My take is that "very rare on the market" does not necessarily equate to "significant value."

However, I have no expertise with the stamps of Peru.

You might want to contact the Peru Philatelic Study Circle to seek more information about these stamps -- there is contact information for the group at http://www.peru-philatelic-study-ci...m/index.html
