My father surprise to me with 5 thick albums of stamps .
They are in order ,year after year, mint and some used.
He also have a few American ones. I was going to take some pictures but there were way too many, I video taped it today going through the pages and the video is 30 minutes ( trust me I didn't take my time video taping it), I will try to upload it when I get the chance.
My father is not a stamp collector, what the reason he started collecting because his friend got him into it. he has no education on this at all.

This is my question:
is there any interest /market on Greek stamps in the US?
are these valuable? He might be interested in selling the entire collection.
can someone please help me to appraise them?
He has entires sets complete! beautiful statues, coins, Olympics, religion, wars, animals, planes , kings and queens....

Is there a trustee place to take them to evaluate them?

Thank you

George

Hello George,

Welcome to Stamp Community site.

All 5 albums being Greek stamps I would look to see a stamp dealer near you or someone dealing in stamps to mail them to to have hem appraised and valued.

They might give you a better price if you know something about them yourself and sold them yoruself on ebay or Delcampe worldwide auction sites.

If they are expensive stamps and also in very good condition then the better auction houses in Prestige Delcampe or some also in teh USA and Canada amd worldwide.

I myself am not familiar with Greece as a collecting country so have little idea of their value.

If you have some pictures we could look at them here and see if they are in a good condition or no. Old collections are sometimes damaged by the weather and pther elements and so very devalued.

Sounds like your collection should be valued around $400.00 to $600.00. If it is in very fine condition as you claim . Most of the value of any Greece collection is in the first issues and the early airmails ,with some of the back of the book revenues needing to be checked ,but yours sound like modern issues and they have increased very little .So the value is about what was paid for them .
