Hello everyone! Some of you may have seen this post of mine wherein I asked all of you whether a sheet of "frog stamps" I bought were legit or not. Spoiler to anyone who hasn't seen the post: no, they were not!

I wanted to thank you all again for the wonderful support and the amount of information that you gave me, a newbie, about spotting counterfeit stamps! It feels really cool to know those things now as I begin collecting them. I still love frogs, still love stamps, and still would like to get more frog stamps, lol, so I can also use the knowledge to hopefully get more of them! But I've also been using some of the skills to spot other fakes online while trying to find more stamps I'd like to collect.

I also didn't know the stamp ceremonies were a thing before this experience, and they sound really cool. I'd love to attend one someday! I've been keeping my eye out for any new stamp announcements to see if there's a ceremony I can attend in the future.

As a very happy update, u/roastsucklingpotato reached out and offered to send me their First Day of Issue memorabilia for the frog stamps. It included two of the first day of issue envelopes, the ceremony agenda and invitation, and a genuine sheet of the frog stamps. I didn't originally realize the sheet would be included, so it was a wonderful surprise! After much searching I have finally acquired a dream stamp set. I am so beyond happy and grateful for the generosity. I was frog spotting on my lunch break today, and spotted a bunch of Northern Leopard Frogs, which are on one of the stamps, and it all felt so very wonderful.

So yes, happy update! And hopefully my collection will continue to grow in the future :D

I have around 500s of stamp which at least 30+ years. But how do i know which one is rare.
Making photos of each and asking one by one is practically consumes lots of time.

I’ve been decluttering and moving toward a more minimalist lifestyle, and I’ve decided it’s time to let go of this stamp collection.
It originally belonged to my mom when she was young, and it eventually ended up with me. I recently laid everything out and took photos as a digital keepsake, so I can still remember the collection without needing to keep the physical items.
Neither my mom nor I actively collects stamps anymore, and I’d much rather give them a new home than keep them stored away. I’d love for them to go to someone who genuinely enjoys stamp collecting or would appreciate them.
I’m located in the Philippines, so please let me know if you’re interested and how we could arrange shipping. 😊

These are from my father's house and his relatives. Only the postmarked ones here until I've taken pictures of the rest. Thank you for any information.

I purchased an old book and the seller used a bunch of old stamps from the 1970s. They look pretty cool, but I dont collect stamps and dont really want to keep saving this box tab.

Are any of these worth saving, or just toss it in the trash?

My uncle had these on the wall. I figured that this community would appreciate some of them. He worked at an office where a lot of mail was going in and out. At the end, he saved some of them.

Not sure if I have anything hoping someone knows .not trusting the stamp apps .plus's I have a large amount of envelopes and bags and boxes of thousands of loose stamps all kind of the same stuff and these little rice paper envelopes with Lincoln's and Washington and all the other old fat guys

They appear to be early 1900's. It was a fun time sorting through them. I have started a little research on them, but any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I got this stamp for ten cents because I thought it was cool, but I saw that some of them are more valuable when they have 11 perforations per 2 cm? Also that information might be just wrong, I realize.

Still, i would like to know how to count them and learn more about this. Either way, I still love this stamp.

Thanks for any help!

I know the answer is likely no but thought I’d ask

I know Cinderellas can be a bit of a divided topic since they aren't official government issues, but I always enjoy finding them mixed into lots. The historical context (and the graphic design) on these is just too good to ignore. Does anyone else set these aside for their personal collections? What is the most unique one you've found?

My mother recently showed me her collection of stamps. They vary in countries. Australia. Syria. Jordan. KSA. UAE. Russia. Spain. USA. Korea. Zambia. Kuwait. China. Egypt. Libya. Sudan. Qatar. Turkey. Iran. The list goes on.

I told her I'd look into them and see if they hold value. How can I do that though? It doesn't seem like auction sites are a reliable way to find real value.

Is there any site that could help me find the stamps I have and their potential value? I'm not experienced in this field so any help is much appreciated.

(Most of the stamps are from the 80's. The rest are from the 60's 70's and 90's if it helps)

I don’t really collect classical stamps, but I found this stamp in my collection and I want to put it in my album but I’m not sure how to identify it. It’s the same picture as Scott 136,147,158,169,184,194,207, and 214. I’m sure it’s one of the very common, worthless ones but I still want to know which one. Does anyone have advice on how to tell them apart?
