If you’re looking for someone who buys old stamps, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve been purchasing collectible and antique stamps for more than 30 years. However, before we make you an offer, it’s good to know a few things.
How Old Is Old?
When it comes to stamps, many people think that the 1950’s are old. The fact is, all stamps issued after 1930 are considered modern in the stamp collecting world.
Part of the reason is that the government’s production of postage stamps skyrocketed in the 1930’s. They mass-produced hundreds of millions of stamps each year. This was a time before emails and text messages, and phone service was still limited. If you wanted to see how someone was doing, or schedule an appointment, a letter or postcard was typically your best option.
Not to mention, stamp collecting was the world’s most popular hobby. Stamp fever had hit the world by storm. Not only was everyone buying the stamps of that time, they were buying old stamps as well.
If they are newer than 1930, you can sell stamps based on their face value. If your stamps are older than 1930, they may have a premium collector value.
Who Buys Old Stamps For The Most Money?
To get the most money for your old stamps, your best option is to contact a stamp dealer. These are professional stamp buyers who have large stamp collector networks, and usually even larger pockets.
They will usually inspect or appraise your stamps for free, letting you know their value and what they will pay for them. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have your stamps appraised prior to selling them, so that you will be aware of how much they are worth before accepting a purchase offer.
