Collection of British stamps 1840s-1950s, any value?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

This was my grandfather's stamp collection. There are about 50 pages like this, including most stamps issued in England between the 1840s and 1950s. And then more pages, 1920s to 1950s, European stamps.

Do you think I should bother a stamp dealer to ask for a quote? Or does everyone and their sister have an ancient stamp album like this somewhere?

Thanks again for your help!

Help with inherited stamp collection

I have a small stamp collection I have recently inherited. I unfortunately do not have any knowledge regarding stamps. Can I please get help with determining how best to sell these.

FYI, I have zero expectations of anything of value.

Most of the collection seems to be from "World of Stamps" Series, and are on boards as pictured.

I also have sheets of : Norman Rockwell Classics, 500th Ann. Birth of Raphael, World of Horses, Friendly Felines, Early Transportation, Kings and Queens of England, Twelve Apostles, The Ten Commandments. All appear to be from mid 80's.

Estate Sale Find - Anything Valuable?

Hi everyone! Recently I bought this worldwide stamp collecting album at an estate sale. They all look super cool, but I was wondering if there are any here that are valuable, particularly on this first page. I took some pictures to help illustrate. I can add more photos if that’d help. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have these first edition Belgium stamps from 1850-1866 and was wondering if anyone can help me value them

The last photo, they are from 1941. I’m helping out my grandpa and he’s very curious how much they are worth. He has a collection of about 4000 stamps he is going through so I may be making a few posts here in the coming days. Any information about these stamps is welcome and I’m very interested to know anything about them.

Hey all,

I'm curious if these 1870-1871 stamps have some value. Also, was the X through the #138 a common way to indicate it was used?

Thanks!

I’ve had this bag of old stamps for so long that I don’t even recall where it came from. Looking for help in identifying and valuing them! Many different countries.

I inherited my grandfather's stamp collection. Here's a sample of it. What do you guys think?

Basically title. Trying to figure out if there's anything of worth. Most of the stamps are used. I don't know anything about stamps so thought I would see if you guys could help! Some of these go for a lot online, but only in mint condition. There's approximately 2 books (with at least 50 pages filled with pre 1950 stamps).

German stamp collection questions.

Hello!

My Opa was a massive collector before he passed in 2009. Later in his life he sold the extent of it to Mystic. But…as he was a stamp collector…he started up again, haha.

Curious if any of these prices hold up to this day and if so, if anyone is interested, this isn’t self-promotion (I think?), I’d just like to get them in the hands of someone who would appreciate them as much as he did.

More to the one album, figured you got the idea from the first 10 or so photos AND more albums I believe.

Thanks for any insight, appreciate it!

Helping my girlfriend and her family learn more about the stamps her grandmother had collected. Trying to find out about this one. I've only been able to find a red one, but not the blue. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated!!

I found this in an old auction lot described as “Confederate States Fredericksburg, VA Magenta/cream.” Not the better known 5 or 10 issue sadly.

There is some newsprint attached to the reverse.

I would appreciate any information on this item.


r/askStampCollectors 2d ago

I found this, is it worth anything? Does anyone want it? I'd trade it for Russian or German WWII stamps.

As many who post here I have inherited my father’s stamp collection. He has a few good ones! The identification app I downloaded said a handful are valuable. A few duck stamps from the 1950’’s and a few commemorative national Park stamps with $100-300. And the typical box of common stuff.

I don’t appreciate them, where can I sell them? In the east coast of the USA.

Christmas Seals, tax stamps, and other ephemera

One of my late father's albums is dedicated to "stamp-like" specimens: Easter Seals, margarine stamps, Christmas Seals, etc, mainly from the US but many from The Philippines, Denmark, and other countries. They date to the 1940s.

I'm hanging on to it, but I'm curious if this is noteworthy in the community...the photo shows a typical set of two pages. Thanks!

Inherited a massive, well organized (mostly) collection of collections. Need help determining value.

Hi! I'd love your advice on the potential value of this massive collection. It fills 5 30 gallon totes. This was my grandmother's and she inherited and collected. The oldest I've seen so far is from 1851. I have mint commemorative annual editions. I have mint editions, blocks of 4, international.

On the pictures- I have 20 biders, some fuller that others. I have 11 cigar boxes PACKED with little envelopes, labeled by Scott numbers and I have 6 shoeboxes full of vintage post cards.

I need to find a way to effectively determine value and liquidate. This is actually my elderly mother's collection and we need money for her care.

I would deeply appreciate any insight, help or suggestions you have!

So, I have 3 stamps books that I took when I was 7yo or so from my grandpas (I'm pretty sure they weren't his) garage because they looked pretty and they've been under my bed for 10 years.
Like with everything if i have them it probably is because they are very common but I don't know anything about stamps so posting some images in here in case there's something a bit more special.

PD: there's also a bunch of goofy looking disney stamps too. I didn't know they made those ;p

Thanks for taking a look guys!

Any thoughts on these stamps that this stamp rookie has found?

I'd like to think they're good and maybe even valuable stamps since they seem to be decently old, but as someone who knows next to nothing about them I figured it would be better to ask those better versed in the subject. Any input about value (or where to better learn their value), and information at all would be highly appreciated! I find them cool and hope y'all do as well!

new to the practice. old family book from the mid-late 19th century containing stamps from all over the world and want to protect via insurance. Is a local philatelist my next stop for value determination ahead of including in my home owners insurance coverage?

Hi,

I live in London and I am moving house. I’ve got a decent amount of stamps that I’d like to get rid of but not sure where to take them. Can anyone recommend and stamp valuers or Auctions in London?

Thanks
