Stamp
Collecting Tips
Welcome
to our page on stamp collecting tips.
***Tip One***
Try to buy
all Fine
condition
used Queen
Elizabeth high value definitive stamps,
ie, 2/6, 5/-,
10/- and £1
.
Fine used high value stamps are very hard to
find, most were only used on parcels and the majority of these
have been ruined with heavy cancellations. We feel that
the catalogue price's do not reflect the rarity of these
stamps, our recommenation is to Buy!
Buy! Buy!
NOW.
The
Reason Not To Buy
Mint
Many people put aside large
amounts of mint high value stamps in the 50's and 60's for
investment. There was no risk involved
as they could always cash them in at
the local post office and get their money back.
Many more stamps were hidden away and
forgotten, some of those hoards are still to be
found today and when they eventually find their way onto the
market (as they will), they could bring the prices
down of mint high value stamps
considerably.
***Tip
Two***
Buy
The Very
Best
When You are looking to buy stamps for your
collection, or if you are thinking about investing in
Commonwealth stamps, always buy the very best you can afford.
Often when I'm at stamp shows and auctions I see people
looking at the cheaper stamps! don't, its always
much better to buy two good stamps than ten cheap ones,
in the long run quality
counts.
