Can you use unused stamps from a stamp collection to post items?
I have a large collection of uncirculated stamps which appear to have very little value even though the stamps are up to $10.00 each. Can I use them to post items instead of trying to sell them.
My apologies to any serious philatelists out there!
Yes, in the recent elections, some one posted their absentee ballot with an “upside down” Air Mail stamp, probably worth $500,000, and, now that it has been canceled, half that?
Anyway, the ballot is invalid, because they did not use the official envelope, did not put a return address on the envelope!!!
That County will get the money, (What a FREE Bonus!) but, election laws mandate that it be sealed up in storage for two more years!
My advice is that individually, those stamps might not be worth much, but, a whole lot of collections go for $30,000 or more, at estate sales, simply because they are COLLECTIONS!
When you have several series of prime, unused, stamps, (or coins!), even though the face value might be one cent, like that misprinted Air Mail Stamp, (in only one sheet of 100! ), it suddenly leaps to be more valuable, for all the time and effort invested.
Stupid to break up a collection, when it is worth hundreds or thousands to a Philatelist!
