I was hoping someone could help me understand how I can get a true value on my collection, it's not big but it might be valuable. I have one big book and one small book. the bulk of my stamps about 2000 are kept in what I believe is called a storage book. The stamps are from different countries Germany, France, England etc.

I want to be able to put a price on the stamps as I have seen here on this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hi Snafu,
For the Great Britain stamps we use the Stanley Gibbons book over here and in the USA I think it's the Sotts book (?)

But to be quite honest with you, auction prices reached very rarely reach their book valuation and many sellers start at around 25% of book value....occasionally you will get a 'flyer' which surpasses the book price, mainly because more than one person want's it to finish off their collection, but it is only very rarely

OHHH... and welcome to Delcampe....you will do OK hear...a worldwide friendly bunch
