Hello, Fellow Treasure Hunters & History Enthusiasts!

I do not know much to anything about stamps(still way new), so I'm turning to my online experts! I had found this stock book a while back at an estate sale. Since I was more into numismatics(coins/currency) at the time, I basically did some research of what kind of stamps they were & put the stock book on my bookshelf. Now that I'm super into learning about stamps for the last few month, I will get it out & add to it as I can. That being said, I'm asking for a ballpark range of what an honest guesstimate of what the entire book would be worth if I were to sell it. I love these BoB stamps, but I find myself being drawn more to aviation stamps (they are so freaking awesome).

I would love to know a guesstimate value of the book, BUT ALSOOOO please share ANY & ALL information you care to share about the stamps... I love learning, so fun facts & general information from fellow collectors is SO APPRECIATED!

Thank you in advance for your time & of course any information you can share!

~T404

Hello Mr./Miss Trash!

What work have you done to try and assign a value? ebay sales? Catalogs? Auction sites? Dealer sites? Others?

Mostly the revenues are common. The special deliveries are probably the best things, depending on condition. Probably about a $75-$100 box lot.

It sound like you plan to sell them, so how you chose to sell them will make a big difference as to how much change these will put into your pocket after all costs, expenses and the value of your own time.

Of the value quoted above much of that can be attributed to several stamp items and the value of the expensive to buy new, stock book.

Look for a stamp show in your area, then wait for them, go and then ask several US dealers for their offer.

The 90¢ official Treasury stamp and the $5 postage due plate block caught my eye, but most are common as previous members have stated. You can get some sense of value by checking the sold listings on ebay.

Almost certain, but not 100%. In fact, all three of the Officials could be soft paper. Big difference in hard and soft paper 90C Treasurys although these are not premium examples.
Shine a strong light thru them Trash404, just to be sure.

Edited to remove signature.

try Eric Jackson's revenue website for a reference. The lot is not heavy w/high values but there are a few that could be, (with condition taken to account)
