What Affects Stamp Value?
Understanding these factors helps you estimate your stamp's worth more accurately:
Condition Matters Most
Mint, never-hinged stamps are worth significantly more than used or damaged ones. Even small tears or thin spots can reduce value by 50% or more.
Perforation & Centering
Well-centered stamps with intact perforations command premium prices. Off-center or imperforate stamps (unless intentionally issued) are worth less.
Watermarks & Varieties
Rare watermarks, color varieties, or printing errors can make an otherwise common stamp extremely valuable to collectors.
Market Demand
Popular countries (USA, UK, Germany) and themes (royalty, aviation) typically have stronger demand and higher prices than obscure issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my stamp show different prices? ▼
Stamp prices vary based on condition, rarity, market demand, and where they're sold. We show real eBay sold prices and catalog values to give you the full picture.
Do you use Scott/Michel catalog numbers? ▼
Yes, our app identifies stamps and provides Scott, Michel, and Stanley Gibbons catalog numbers along with current market values.
Is eBay price the same as catalog value? ▼
Not always. Catalog values are guides, while eBay prices reflect what collectors actually pay. We show both to help you make informed decisions.
