Just for fun
Just for fun, we have put together a few examples of
stamp "varieties" that can lead to high pricing
valuations.
These examples are particularly "visual" in
nature and come from a Modern QEII collection that we
have recently been selling for a client.
Not all collections will have this type of material,
known as “varieties”, or even individual
high value "normal" stamps – however,
because stamp collecting has many, many different facets
and areas for collecting it can be enjoyed at a general
or at a very specialised level. |

Have a look at the these examples and see if you can determine
what it is that makes one stamp more valuable to a specialist
collector than another one :
1:) What makes one of these blocks of 6 stamps approx 250
times more valuable than a similar one? Take a look 
2:) What makes one of these machine dispensed booklets almost
40 times more valuable than a similar one ... And yet its
name is "Old Spot Pig"? Take a look
3:) What makes a pleasant & seemingly normal Xmas stamp
almost 1000 times more valuable than a similar one? Take
a look
4:) What makes the stamp at the bottom left of this “block
of 6” more attractive to some collectors than the other
5? Take a look
5:) What makes one of these booklets up to 6 times more
valuable to a collector than a similar one – when there
are NO differences in the stamps themselves! Take a look
6:) What makes a simple 1970’s stamp nearly 750 times
more valuable than a similar one? Take a look |
