<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hochstrasse, post: 2135147, member: 380&quot;]Hi Arthur,</p><p>I think one of the most salient points I have learned in philately is &quot;rare today, rare tomorrow&quot;.&nbsp; Stamp collecting is not about the expectation of a windfall in increased collection value, the history of thousands of collections doesn&#039;t bear that out.&nbsp; Collectors collect for the joy it brings them and in the end having some residual value.&nbsp; The record prices that extremely rare and pristine stamps fetch at auction are not the norm for common stamps.&nbsp; As far as getting the best price for modern mint stamps a collector has to do some leg work and put them in front of multiple dealers for an offer.&nbsp; A dealer willing to pay more isn&#039;t always buying.</p><p>Many collectors wanting a better deal sell their stamps online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
