What Your Old Stamps Are Worth Now

What we didn't know: http://www.aol.com/article/2016/05/...ow/21374603/

Not bloody likely!

Ugh...this is the kind of stuff that leads people to find a 10 or 20 year old stamp and think they hit paydirt.

More alarmingly, everyone with one of the millions of 1d reds in old albums will think they're rich.

Not only NOT written by someone with philatelic knowledge, it was written by someone with very poor writing skills: "For example, a British Penny Red is valued at upwards of $795K -- and that's just if it's in mint condition. Other valuable types include Chinese stamps, Indian stamps and stamps with a picture of Queen Victoria on them."

That's the sort of writing you get from someone without grade school education.

All the reliability of something overheard at a bus stop ...

... and its in the "Finance" section!

That's great publicity for a dealer who sell the big box with 10 000 stamps. Look for the gems! It's a business... One way to make a short term illusion into a long term stay away from stamp collecting. I don't collect stamps for the money. I do it to learn, enjoy and relax. Daniel
