mocomi.com/ presents: What makes stamps valuable?
Why do we need stamps?
The first stamp was issued in 1840 in England. Up until then, the postage price was paid by the receiver of the mail. However, it got difficult to collect money from receivers who refused the mail. What a waste of time, energy and effort! That’s when the idea of a stamp sparked as it ensured the prepayment of mail.
Why do people collect stamps?
A stamps later became something like time capsules. They carried a little information about the history, geography, art and culture of a particular time. So, a good stamp collection gives you a view of the world from any era you would want.
How to find the value of a stamp?
The value of a stamp is defined by
1. Age of the stamp
2. Place where it is issued
3. Condition of gum on the stamp
4. And the perforation
Stamps become more valuable once they are discontinued. The lesser the total number of a stamp available in the market, the more valuable it is to collectors.
Stamp collections give us a sense of belonging. It helps us to share the history of the world with each other.
