Old Swedish Stamps

sorry , I have the clour pictures but the pdf was too big to upload.

Do they worth anything?

Not really, they are all common, the horizontally lengthened ones are "Official" stamps. You also have some in there that are not even Swedish...Switzerland, the plebascites, one that looks French (too small to see). Sorry. John

Thank you John, how come some stamps in Sandrafayre are quite high value but very cheap on ebay?

Regards

While many stamps may look the same, some have characteristics such as grills, rare perforations, flaws, etc. which can amount to wildly varying values.

For example in the bottom similar looking stamps, one sold for almost $1 million, while the other one sold for less than $100. Can you tell the difference just by looking at the scans? This type of variance is more than likely the reason for the price difference on ebay/Sandafayre, i.e. you're probably not comparing the same stamp.

One is liable to always find the cheapest prices on ebay, particularly if you're patient. Unless you're talking about an unusual item, there are typically several (or even several dozen) copies of any given stamp available from several different sellers, so there's a lot of competition. Also, a lot of those sellers are Joe Collector types disposing of their duplicates and unwanted stamps, so they're often willing to take a little less for them than full time dealers.

Full time dealers and auctioneers (such as Sandafayre) typically have an established customer base and the competition is much less. Also, many collectors prefer buying from a full time dealer (even with higher prices) because they're more confident in not getting misidentified or fraudulent stamps. If I'm buying something from "seller234ABC" in Estonia (no offense meant to any Estonians on the board) whom I know nothing about, I will bid/offer much less than from a well-known, reputable dealer in the areas I collect.

I don't see anything valuable. Just some cheap swedish stamps, 2 very common plebiscite, and a cheap Swiss and a Spanish worthless stamp.
