Cool video. Grading for stamps after 1940 is ridiculous. I buy graded stamps or with a certificate where the identification is not that easy for me to figure out.
Yes I agree the modern stamps are not worth grading. The older ones are worth more because the printing methods were not as good whereas post 1940 nearly all stamps were well centered.
Thank you for your knowledge on stamps Ryan. I am a new fan of your videos now and, if you are selling, I will be purchasing stamps from you in the future
I have yet to assess values of the stamp collection I've inherited. Investing in albums to store them/ Vario pages/ catalogs / etc. has been expensive enough. I can't imagine being able to afford to send stamps in to have them authenticated. Is there an affordable way to do that in the event I discover something rare? Thanks:)
Authenticating isn’t as expensive as you may think. It may cost as little as $20 for a certificate and it would be well worth it if you have a stamp worth in the hundreds of dollars.
You can get a Scott Stamp Catalogue. It will show you values. Or you can share some photos of what you have here and I can take a look stampcollectors.us/collectors-forum-board/us-stamp-values/
It would probably sell for $100. In short yes because it’s perfectly centered and sound. The printing wasn’t very good back then. While it’s a common stamp, most in existence are not as well centered as this one, thus the price.

I have a huge collection of stamps dating pre world War. How do I know which ones are worth money?

Hi Good morning, i have a question, have some stamps, used stamps, very old stamps
What is your question?
Can you tell me what's the cost to get a few graded? Thx
Usually around 2-5% of the catalogue value, with a minimum of $20-$30 per cert.
Is anyone really gonna pay $125 for a dollar stamp?
