That’s true. When you inherit a collection, almost always the true value is the sentimental value because you loved the person who developed the collection. My grandpa’s stamps are worth face value (or less, if used). But they’re invaluable to me.

My father was born in NYC in 1924 and being extremely gifted had mentors who set him up with a phenomenal collection of. My dad gave it to his nephew who promptly sold it. OUCH!

Good to hear, literally, that SG has got the sound right at long last.

Superb description, with carryover relevance to collecting of all sorts. Particularly liked the manner in which you distinguished between sentimental and market value. Thank you.

Knowledge is the key to successful selling. Always do your homework and know what you have beforehand. Too many people think they have the holy grail of stamps but they need to do some research and get a second opinion before selling. Condition is important mint or used, mint being more valuable 97% of the time, centering, watermarks if any, grills etc and variations can also contribute to value.

An overhead camera with better shots of the pages would have enhanced this video.

Another hit video from Stanley Gibbons. Well done. You should do more. Look forward to seeing the next one.

One easy way to note the value of your stamp collection is watch how a dealer view the various stamps on the number of pages of your stamp album. If he flips thru the pages of stamp like an used Sears catalog, then it is worthless in terms of market value. If he carefully turns each page and pause a moment to view the contents of a page, then you know you have something of value. And finally, if it is valuable before you leave with your collection, he will inquire whether you want to sell. If your collection is worthless, you may not even get a good-bye as you leave.

Very informative. Nice presentation.

good description! I have also made a few videos here on youtube just to explain the people what kind of stamps might be valuable. the problem is that the people have quite offen no realistic idea what is their collection worth. Many of them think that 100 years old stamp must be valuable. they do not realize that a stamp from 2022 might be more worth than a stamp from 1922...

Well done. 👍

My husband is stamp collector he have got a lot of stamps from around the world.

Good info .. It would also be great for you to do a video of building your collection and or catalogue online using your tools. I hope to get my father to do this but would like to get a feel for the interaction with your tools and the workflow and show him .. without me having to learn your app.. thanks // do you have intro/edu short videos ?

i love Stamps!

I'm starting to create my own sets: for example stamps from a region with the same postmarks.

Nice & Informative :-)

The importance of preservation of assets, as well as making it preserved and protected for a lifetime of certainties, in GDP be it private or public sector managed ones.

stan Gibbs now owns the one cent '58 br guiana & sits in your store in London, super! Question, blank album pages for your green regents spring back binder? as I said - a question, thank you.

Nice video, but few good collections today would be housed in an album with hinges. Each stamp should be kept in as pristine a condition as possible.

Does it matter in value how neat ur albums are ,or the value of the stamps in it

My mother is trying to find out the value of 4 stamps that were put out for the 90th birthday of the queen mother. How do I find out for her?

Doing a stamp collection that was found in a storage unit giveaway if interested !

How to Value a Stamp Collection of a few 100000 stamps? Make photographs of each page in your albums, let software couple each stamp to a stamp in the Gibbons catalogue (and determine its condition) and let the software make a calculation of the value

I have been a user of the Stanley Gibbons catalogue of Commonwealth and Empire stamps for over 50 years and appreciate it's in depth valuation of stamps. However, as good as it is, I have seen 2 major problems with it. I am using the 2023 catalogue. 1. Very often with a definitive set of say 10 to 20 stamps, the individual stamps do not add up to the complete value of the set as shown. For example. take Burma 1-18. The complete mint set is valued at £3,000. However, if you count the stamps individually, they are way more than £3,000. In fact the top 3 values total £3,000, so that means the lower 15 values are worthless? Really? 2. Somaliland 32-44 total catalog value mint is £275. However, the specimen set 32s-44s is only £250. Surely there were far fewer specimen sets printed so they should be worth way more than the regular set? Another baffling valuation. Hugh Jefferies must have got an F in maths at grammar school or he is playing a bad joke on us collectors. Maybe you need a new editor who can do simple arithmetic. I still have my 2002 Part 1 and 2 and miss the values after 1970. Buying the individual countries that you sell is horribly expensive. I suggested to Hugh Jefferies a while ago that he expand the catalogue to at least 2000, but he didn't want to publish extra catalogues. Scott publishes 12 volumes of the world A-Z and has no problem priced at $900 a set. If Gibbons expanded the years, I would have no problem paying double the current price.

I do it different.

I have a huge collection of stamps and some of them are 100 years old... i would like to auction them

Is selling a stamp collection worth more than selling an individual rare stamp?

I feel sad about this, because I remember I used to have great stamps, but when you are kid, there is always someone who outsmarts you, so all the rare old (= ugly) stamps I gave away, exchanged them for nice and useless stamps. Exactly, I was collecting for a quantity.

IMO NEVER get a ‘value’ from Stanley Gibbons as they are notorious for offering a VERY low price. Better off with someone like Warwick and Warwick.

Is this hobby dead or almost dead now?

so tamps are worthless

The reasoning behind this person's explanation is solid but he just gives off these "I don't want to be bothered" vibes with his buttoned up look and snobbish air about him. I would not want to do business with such a person.
