Large Collection Appraisal
Find out what a large collection is worth. Send us photos of the albums, the boxes and the loose material. We write a formal appraisal of the whole holding and email it to you in 5 business days.
- The overall condition of the collection.
- What a dealer would likely pay for it, called the wholesale value.
- What it would likely sell for to a collector, called the retail value.
- An offer to buy it where the material suits our stock needs. Buying an appraisal does not guarantee an offer.
Up to 50 photos, taken on your phone. Nothing is mailed to us. This values the collection as one lot rather than stamp by stamp.

Returns & Guarantees
Because this is a service, refunds are not allowed once your stamp appraisal has been emailed to you. To cancel a pending order, please email support@westcoaststamps.com
We will do our best to identify and value your stamps based on the photos provided. We do not guarantee 100% accuracy in our remote identification, as our evaluation is limited to the quality of the provided photos. All appraisals and estimates are final. If you want to submit additional photos or obtain a second opinion, you must purchase a new appraisal.
Purchase offers: we require a formal appraisal before we purchase a collection or make a purchase offer. Whether the report carries an offer depends on the material and our stock needs, so buying an appraisal does not guarantee a purchase offer. For large or high-value collections we may arrange an in-person inspection or collection, though that is not guaranteed either.
Smaller collection? The Stamp Collection Appraisal covers up to 20 photos for $49.99.
