Stamp Collection Appraisal
Find out what your whole collection is worth. We look at your photos, write up a formal appraisal for the collection as a whole, and email it to you.
What you get:
- 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, if we are in a position to buy. Buying an appraisal does not guarantee we will make an offer.
Please read this part. This service values the collection as one lot. It does not tell you what each stamp is or what each stamp is worth. If you want single stamps identified and valued one by one, buy the Single Stamp Appraisal or the Ten Stamp Appraisal instead.
Photos you will need: up to 20 photos. Show the albums, the pages, the boxes, and close-ups of anything that looks special to you. Good light, one clear shot at a time. A phone camera is fine. You send the photos after you buy, using a link we email you.
Delivery: 3 business days after we get your photos.
More than 20 photos to send? The Large Collection Appraisal takes up to 50 photos for $99.99, which is the right choice for several albums or a big estate lot. If you want individual stamps identified and valued, buy the Single Stamp Appraisal or the Ten Stamp Appraisal instead.
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.
Larger collection? The Large Collection Appraisal covers up to 50 photos instead of 20, for $99.99.
