How much have you paid for your most expensive stamp?

    My stamps are not very expensive, so I only paid $10 for my most expensive stamp. For me, unless it's a stamp I really want, or a rare one, it doesn't worth the money, so I usually don't pay too much for them. I can do something better with the money than buy a common stamp.

    What about you?

    Most of my quite expensive stamps are only given so I am very thankful for that. :D
    The most I have spend for a single stamp is $2+, I bought it from a local shop here.

    Woah, lucky you! Well, my grandma gave me some really old stamps, which is actually nice. Enjoy them!

    So, we are both lucky in that aspect. :D
     
  5. I have not payed more than ten cents for a stamp in my collection, but I am sure I have stamps that are worth much more than that. Most of the stamps that I have acquired in recent time has been from the post office and are generally cartoons. :)

    Well, as time passes, they will become rarer, so more valuable. No stamp was expensive at first.

    It was upwards of $700 (Columbians) and many at $300+ (pre-Scott 200) but I would still be willing to pay a couple of grand for a SUPERB set of Grafs.

    Just noticed your signature block... do you collect perfins? I have a few I got in some kiloware and know that I will probably never use them.

    I do. I just recently began and awaiting my new catalog. Never too old to learn new tricks. I decided to expand my horizons.

    Will get a few pics and send them over to you... may take a couple of weeks as I am ordering a new microscope/camera for just that purpose. Talk with you soon.

    I've got a bunch because I haven't collected them, so now that I've decided to expand my collection, it opens a whole new avenue. In most cases, it seems they are also the cheapest...so I can keep the cost down and still have lots of time to spend enjoying it!
