Wanting to bring the joy of stamp collecting to younger generations 23 May 2015 01:08:15pm
re: Last but not least!
I can't attest to the values on these, but any stamps that are on cards and envelopes leave as is. normally by itself the franklin is pretty common, but on the envelope it makes it more interesting to a cover collector. (except Jefferson he is common, not very valuable) The value in stamp collecting for me is that I enjoy it, and enjoy learning about it.
Thank you so much for your reply! I am fascinated with stamp collecting and continue to be as I learn more everyday. Monetary value is a bonus but the joy of beholding a stamp masterpiece would be priceless I only posted these to possibly help my family, otherwisw they would have stayed in my book. I am working on getting better specimens, graded and or authenticated, in the near future.
As a new collector, please remember that most stamps have little value. Governments do not print stamps to make stamp collectors rich. They print stamps by the millions for mailing services for the public.
