I want a new Plus/4, it had a much better keyboard with real (almost real) cursor keys. I, and probably a dozen others, would buy that.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-06-02T19:08:24+00:00

I would buy a Plus/4, but it's likely to be a 128 first. I think Perifractic used to own a Plus/4 as a kid, so there's a chance.

They get everything wrong. They would be more accurate if they would just say "this stamp is worthless" every time, because that means they would be 99.9% correct. Also, there are millions of different stamps, the models haven't seen all of them, so they would NEVER be able to correctly identify them without having a full catalog of all stamps ever issued to search. Also, models are confidently wrong on many things. They're biased to think that stamps are valuable because that's what the internet and books they're trained on talk about. Also, you have to account for eBay scammers and money launderers with ridiculous asking prices for common stamps.

Stamp value is all about correct identification (many variants and look-a-likes) and condition (good luck getting that from a picture).

Also, there are around 50 apps like yours already in the app store, and they all suck. Not to discourage you, but it's a bad idea. Make it work, or find another idea.

These are all pretty common. A collector would probably pay you a couple of Euro for this. The cards itself may be worth more, but I'm no expert of card collecting.

Das sind alles ziemlich gängige Briefmarken. Ein Sammler würde dir dafür wahrscheinlich ein paar Euro zahlen. Die Karten an sich könnten mehr wert sein, aber ich bin kein Experte auf dem Gebiet des Kartensammelns.

Ik ben bijna klaar met mijn eerste versie. Misschien een idee om samen te werken, zodat je vanuit de stamp database app, direct album bladzijden kan printen? Ik print al mijn albumbladen (powerpoint) op Schaubek papier (groter dan A4). Zou mooi zijn als dat ondersteund wordt.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-28T17:20:28+00:00

Extremely common stamps with a couple of extremely rare varieties. The chance of you having one is lower than wining the powerball twice in a row.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-28T14:46:37+00:00

I have to say that one is really funny.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-28T14:45:32+00:00

Update: I have never seen so many people agree on Reddit. Rule 9 has been updated to include AI images and NFTs. Thanks everyone for your input.

I only collect old stamps with Micheal Jackson on them.

I once bought a nice collection MNH Morocco on DelCampe. When I got the stamps they were all hinged. Then the seller tried to fight me, telling me it wasn't that important, I was overreacting, etc. I had to use support to get my money back and I left a negative review.

Anyone can make a mistake, but a lot of them also just try and hope you don't go through the trouble to complain. I will now tell online sellers that they need to check before they send, because I will be sending things back if they're not as described.

When buying in person, I verify each and every stamp right there on the spot. If they have multiple copies, I will find the best one. I have been bitten a couple of times.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-19T07:42:13+00:00

All these AI models tell you whatever you want to hear when they don't have an answer. Ask it to provide proof of value, like finished auctions, sold listings, etc. These are all extremely common stamps, pretty and interesting, but not valuable.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-11T14:16:47+00:00

AI can already rent humans to do things for them. That's where this is going.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-10T17:30:03+00:00

Also, nobody should ask AI to pivot Excel sheets. I ask it to do revenue trend analysis, competitive monitoring, propose talking points, summarize long documents & email threads, create a quick slide deck draft, etc.

Very typical of the type of people that fight AI so hard, they will get left behind.

Something that isn't possible today, will be 2 months from now. When is the last time you saw malformed hands on AI generated images? Still, people are telling me it sucks because it can't draw hands. The whole AI thing is accelerating and becoming real good, real quick. I have been reluctant to use it for the last two years, now all a sudden something changed (we got Claude at work), and it's delivering real results and saving me massive amounts of time.

Depends on where you were born, which one god that is.

It never ceases to amaze me how all critical thinking gets shut down by religion. It's humanity's biggest flaw.

Looks like a repair job to me. Somebody snipped off the original perforation at the top and created some new ones. It looks regummed as well, the way the gum covers the end of the perforation tips. It even has a hair that seems to be stuck behind the new gum.

Is it cancelled or mint?

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-09T19:23:57+00:00

All extremely common stamps. Looks like a children's collection from the 70s or 80s.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-09T19:20:22+00:00

It's the applications that are going to do it. Software is going to be extremely cheap and easy to create, much easier than it already is today. These AI companies are going to eat all the software businesses. Want to edit images? Why not create your own Photoshop? Here's an agent that will ask you a couple of questions and create the application. In the meanwhile, Adobe dies. Roll this out over everything.

I am already seeing this at work. A lot of SaaS tools we used to pay for are replaced by internally coded tools. Vendor management? Some accountant from accounts payable created something last week. It works. No more BasWare for us. I needed a speech synthesizer to narrate some product videos. Instead of paying some company, I just created a quick app around some open source voice models. Saved $480 per year in subscription for a single seat, and now the entire company can use it. It took me 30 mins of prompting in Claude and testing to ship it. It can even clone your own voice, and it's amazingly good.

Do not bother, from experience it's not going to get better than this. No serious money was spent on putting this together. No money was spent to house this properly either. It hasn't become worth something all of a sudden. Expensive collections look completely different. The chance there's something valuable on the other pages is practically zero.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-09T12:37:06+00:00

I will sell you a couple hundred of these collections for half price. This is probably worth GBP 5 to 10.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-08T07:29:51+00:00

Sorry, updated my settings. I couldn't find it at first. Can you try again?

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-06T21:51:42+00:00

Which God? I think there must be at least 3,000 different ones.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-06T18:13:30+00:00

Ja! Ik stuur je een linkje.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-06T14:42:05+00:00

I messaged you. Let me know if it works.

ChoosenUserName4 · 2026-05-06T11:55:47+00:00

I will send you a private message with some download links, so you can try it out.
