Hello, guys! I got this very old stamps album from my grandparents. Do you think it is worth something? Thank you much for any opinion.

re: VERY OLD POSTSTAMPS ALBUM

Hi,
It appears to be a Czech album from, looking at the stamps in it, the 1930s or 1940s. It is interesting, but judging from randomly clicking on a few pages from the whole lot (appreciate the effort, this is how to do it!) I could not see any stamps that would allow you to book that cruise. In other words, not bad, but not very valuable in my opinion.

One should be able to sell it. Perhaps you'd be lucky on Ebay, but I would be surprised if you got more than 30 euros / dollars for it. But then again, I have not seen all the pages, perhaps the treasures were on the pages I didn't see.

re: VERY OLD POSTSTAMPS ALBUM

hi,

if you point me to the first two pages of Germany and the US, I'll have a good sense of the depth of the collection.

re: VERY OLD POSTSTAMPS ALBUM

I can't say I looked at every page, but I checked out at least half. It's an interesting book and it has a good selection of stamps, but unless I'm missing something most of the material seems to be what you would expect to see. It don't see any real treasures, but if someone had the time to go through the book I'm sure there is some stuff there for almost any collector of vintage World material. A beginning collector might give about $50 - $100 for it, an established collector would not be interested. If it were to be broken up by a serious dealer there should, in my humble opinion, be a few hundred dollars worth of material there. But it would be a heck of a lot of work, I think anyone who bought it to see would want to keep it together and would probably pay less than $100 for it, again just an opinion.

re: VERY OLD POSTSTAMPS ALBUM

Joe,

I looked at far less pages than you did, so maybe there's evidence I'm missing. I'm more inclined to side with Jan-Simon's estimate. It's also in line with what we typically see at my club where an introductory world wide album is unlikely to fetch much above Jan-Simon's stated $30.

I offered two different world wide collections here a while ago; one sold for $50 and was, in my estimation, far more valuable than this; the other, offered at $200 went begging. My club broke it down and realized about $2,000 in sales within the club, most of which sold at 20% or less of CV (often far less, and occasionally given away at mills on the dollar).

all just speculation on my part; it is worth SOMETHING; defining that is likely to occur only in the open market.

re: VERY OLD POSTSTAMPS ALBUM

It's a beginners stamp album, and what you have in the album are stamp that beginners have. There may be a few stamps with a little bit of value, but not much. Value also depends 100% on the condition of the stamps. How they are mounted in the album will tell alot.
