You will receive an email shortly that provides instructions on how to send us photos of your stamps. You may also reply to the email with key Scott catalogue numbers instead.
Because of the amount of requests we receive each day, we need to determine if your stamps have enough value for a formal sale consultation or purchase offer. The vast majority of stamp collections are hobbyist and youth collections that have little to no value.

Regardless of what you read or see online, these stamp designs are common and have NO VALUE. While it is true there are some very rare versions of these designs, the majority are accounted for and certified. The vast majority of stamps in these designs are the common versions, in which there are millions of copies.
The likelihood that you have one of the rare versions of these stamps without a certificate of authenticity is nearly 0%. You most definitely have the common version that looks exactly the same, and is worth $0. Do not send photos of these stamps!
This is not a complete list of stamps with no value. It is just the most common stamp designs that have no value. There are thousands of more stamps, even as old as the 1800’s, that are common and have no resale value.
