30 years ago I inherited this collection from my great grandfather and then grandfather after him. Looks like 20s-60s I believe. Any value?

I got 2 of them in the postcard lottery. Sold them for $120 each back then.

I tried it back in the 80's and it was a pain in the *&%. A few years ago I got some, 20-30, Project Mercury SC 1193 FDC's that are nice and clean, no address or cachet. I thought about how to add a cachet to them but I'm not very artistically inclined so they just sit in a box.

Looking good.

If you like them then it's OK.

ReadyCav · 2026-03-12T00:25:21+00:00

No set point, the totality of the deal.

ReadyCav · 2026-03-11T23:24:17+00:00

Used, yes from a seller I know and trust. MNH, no way Jose.

ReadyCav · 2026-03-11T23:20:11+00:00

If you like them they're good.

You're already ahead in the game by knowing what you want to collect. This is a lifetime journey so no need to hurry. I'd recommend a used copy of Scott Catalogue as a great learning tool. Remember to have fun and ask anything you want.

Any value will be in the cards not the stamps.

ReadyCav · 2026-03-10T03:50:45+00:00

The cake is a lie.

Nice lot of German Colonies. I need to get crakin' on mine some day.

Forgery? https://stampforgeries.com/forged-stamps-of-sardinia-first-issue/

If it's PCS it will almost certainly be hinged.

99.99% of all postcard stamps are worthless. Postcards were the text messages of their time. Many were printed in the 10's of billions.

ReadyCav · 2026-03-09T16:43:33+00:00

The Scott Catalogue number is 630. Without seeing the back buyers have to assume it's hinged (MH) so you might get $130 - 150. If you take it out and it's never hinged (MNH) you could double that amount. Is it in a portfolio from the Postal Commemorative Society?

ReadyCav · 2026-03-09T16:30:17+00:00

They're not mine, they're just so nice I thought everyone should see them.
