I am looking for a searchable database of all the U.S. First Day Covers. Does this exist? I found a few sites with a basic online search that has some good references but not what I was expecting to find.
Is there a site where these are easily searched by year published, subject, historical figure or event?
I am not a stamp collector, but a card collector and we have such databases.
I inherited a collection of 31 covers from Austria, dated between 1963 and 1973. My local shop doesn't want them. What value might these have if I try to sell them online as a lot?
Don't let them tell you that it's not normal to celebrate casting a ballot.
Can anyone tell me about them? There is a lot more :)
Hey! I’ve rifled through some old boxes on my balcony and stumbled across this collection. Most of the stamps are soviet and mostly they are dated from 1950’s to 1980’s. There are some US, Indian, Mongolian, Australian and Thai stamps as well. Check this out!!
Hi Everyone -
Thanks in advance for your insights. I'm clearing out a family estate and found an 1890s stamp collection book that is extensively filled. Somebody in my family history put a lot of work into this collection, and I'm really impressed with how many they were able to get.
I've heard that stamps are sometimes valuable, but I'm not sure where to start. This book has a page for every country in the world, and the space for every stamp that country had issued up until 1890. Nearly every country has some of the stamps captured. I've included pages for the USA, Great Britain, and a handful of other countries as examples.
Anything jump out to you?
thanks!
Hello!
I'm a stamp collector.
I'm from Korea, and I have a lot of Korean stamps.
I want to have stamps from other countries.
We’re going to put our own stamps in envelopes and send them to each other.
The idea I have right now is that we decide on an amount and send stamps with a total face value equal to that amount.
Or, we could look for stamps that the other person wants and send them to each other.
I have lots of other stamps besides the ones shown in the photo.
If you’re interested, feel free to contact me.
Have a nice day !!
Hi everyone. My grandfathers collection that I admire but also sadly have to give up. It’s one of multiple albums. Let me know if you see anything interesting, of worth or how / for how much it would be fair to insert. Thanks a lot in advance!
Hello, I bought a huge collection of stamps for $15 yesterday and was looking to sell these on eBay. I attached pictures of the best stamps. Not sure what to ask for when they are hinged and used in this condition. I’ve been going off the SCV and seems like there is a lot of variance.
The rest of the album is relatively complete as well.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
This is a small fraction of the stamps. I just randomly took pics of some that I thought were cool looking or very old. Is there anything good here? I’m having fun just looking through them. He collected most of them when was a teenager.
I am going through a big batch of mixed stamps I bought from a flea market, but this one has me stumped. There is no year, country or value on it, the back is also completely white. It's made from some thicker paper and feels like a magazine cover (so I think it must be newer also bc of the print quality). I tried researching but nothing comes up except that it could be a test print or something similar. Does anyone have any ideas?
Dimensions are 3.5 x 1.8 cm
The concept of this collection is quite interesting: not only “pretty flowers ”, but flowers that are part of out everyday life, like fruits and greens. The designer is Ayumi Yoshikawa (吉川亜有美).
From top to bottom:
My father in law left an accumulation of stamps. Many many are simply pages of mint stamps from Canada that are really only worth face value I believe (I’m in California so I have no way of even donating them). Anyhoo. Some were nice collections of doggos. So, since two of my children are veterinarians, I matted some stamps for them. It was tricky and exacting but they are happy.
There are more pages from Australia, New Zealand, France, etc etc. Just thought I might post these since I was specifically looking them up. Enjoy. If anything peaks your interest, do tell. I don’t know much about stamps but these all look pretty. The ones from Egypt for example are very reminiscent of their currency.
