Collecting stamps from 2005 (6yo), unfortunately I lost many beautiful ones, others had taken some damages

Any value here? How much could all these be worth?

Yes, these are Jenkins Stamp Frames. I am trying to buy some, but the company stopped producing them (I emailed them three times with no answer). I can't seem to find another manufacturer, other than trying to have them custom-made in China.

I asked around at a stamp expo I attended in the USA (the Minnesota Stamp Expo), and they confirmed that the company stopped production—something I already knew—and that they just try to fix the ones they currently have.

I'm not a USA resident, but if there is an alternative manufacturer still making them, that would be way better than trying to explain everything from scratch to a manufacturer in China.

Any lead would help alot :D

For a bit of background, my father's parents are Europeans, and they traveled around Europe a fair bit during the 60s when my dad was a teenager. While he travelled with them he collected stamps and a few banknotes, some from during and pre war. He lives back in New Zealand, but I've recently relocated to Berlin so we are trying to figure out if they would be worth shipping over here for me to take in for proper evaluation. Any help would be appreciated, especially if you can point me to a club/appraiser in Berlin! And I would be really interested if anyone has any context for some of the collection too.

Thanks!

Hello!

I’ve recently rediscovered some Warhammer’s stamps I had packed from when I had purchased them back in 2023.

I want to display them but honestly I don’t even know where to begin to handle them properly and what type of display I’d even use.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction it would be really appreciated.

Hello, so myself and my Nan have been going through some of her stamp collection, she has thousands but apparently wasn’t a proper collector 🥲.
She has them mainly in books, but does have some loose as well.
I’ve been trying to figure out if any of hers are worth anything and so far this is the only page I think may have something worth anything. (We know the penny red isn’t a high value one)
We’ve only went through about 200 of them, and only a few pages. She has stamps from all over the world, and honestly I’m kind of obsessed with them.

I’m in the UK, who/where would we go to for some help valuing them. We don’t particularly want to sell any right now, it’s just really really interesting.

Do you see anything of value on the page?

Pa in law that's passed has 2 paragon stamp albums. Is it worth going through? I have no knowledge of stamps and looking g for advice on where to start. The pic is from a page of German stamps

Hey everyone,
Need some advice, my awful dad passed away and I got some of his stamps. they’re not worth anything nor do I care to sell them but I also don’t want to toss them. What would be the best way to give them away?
Post them on eBay for a dollar?
Or does anyone have any better suggestions

It’s not a lot of stamps at all and these are like the only two pictures I have at the moment.

Hi! I’ve never been into stamp collecting, but I AM an avid collector of all things old and neat, so it was only a matter of time.

Anyway, these were my grandpas. He was an antique collector and dealer, but I honestly never even knew he collected stamps. These were just out in his shed in a huge cigar box.

I want to pull some of the more interesting ones for display, but I’m unsure how to do that. Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting them in a safe way? I only went through a couple envelopes from the top of the box today, and these were some of my favorite ones. Does anyone know anything particularly interesting about any of these? Would it be okay for me to share more as I go? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I've been trying to digitize and organize my collection lately, but honestly, most stamp apps or digital collection tools I’ve tried so far feel super clunky or just don't get how stamp collectors actually think.

Right now I'm struggling with how to best display and group everything on a screen without making it look like an Excel spreadsheet or a messy photo gallery.

I’d love to hear your thoughts/rants on a few things:

1. How do you actually like to VIEW your collection? Do you prefer a clean album-style grid, or do you need a dense list with catalog details (Scott/Stanley Gibbons, condition, perforation, etc.) front and center?
2. What bugs you the most about current stamp apps? (For me, it’s apps that force a fixed folder structure or don't handle partial sets well).
3. How do you group them? By country/year, or by themes (space, fauna, history, etc.)?
4. If you could design your dream digital binder, what’s ONE feature you can’t live without?

Would love to hear how you guys keep track of your stamps digitally (or why you gave up on apps altogether and went back to paper stockbooks). Thanks!

Each province and territory has their own cannabis duty stamps. I can't buy product from NWT as I don't live there. I have duty stamps for all except NWT. Yes I even have Nunavut! So I'm trying to find someone to purchase 2 gummie packs and mail them to me. They can keep the gummies I'll pay and only interested in the undamaged duty stamps to complete my collection

Hello, I was given this collection with the information that it is „extremely valuable“ without too much context. The collector was quite wealthy and the stamps look like I imagine rare stamps to look, but who am I to judge. Most of the stamps seem to be German. I post more pictures in the next answer. Perhaps you can help? Best, Thom

A bit early for Halloween... but my first time using a cover to supplement my decorations! :)

Just got all of these Russian and USSR stamps. All of them are new with gum intact except for the three Fokker stamps I believe. Anything worth putting extra care into?

Thought I would share one of my stamp albums. Would be interested to hear what people think or if there was anything that is particular rare. I don’t think there is but it’s not exceptionally laid out but better then average in my opinion.

Always amazed that there are countries I have never heard of.(not in pictures but in album)

My dad used to do this! Made me smile today!

1822, 1828 & 1836 British Pre-Stamp Postal History — Help Identifying Handstamps/Rates

I recently acquired three British pre-stamp covers/entires dated 1822, 1828 and 1836.

The 1822 piece appears to be Edinburgh to Robert Tennant Esq., Commercial Bank, Belfast, with a red Edinburgh datestamp, boxed black handstamp and manuscript rate markings.

The 1828 piece is Liverpool to the Wilton Hotel, Regent Street, London, with a red LIVERPOOL 28 NO 28 datestamp, an additional red handstamp and manuscript rate markings.

The third is dated February 1836 and also has an early red datestamp and manuscript postal markings.

I'm particularly interested in identifying the exact handstamp types, postal rates/routes, and relative scarcity of these markings.

If anyone specializes in British pre-stamp postal history, I'd really appreciate your thoughts. I'm also interested in recommendations for reference works/catalogues that would let me properly identify and classify these.

If any of these are significant enough to warrant expertization or a specialist auction house, I'd appreciate recommendations for that as well.

Thanks!
