[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 974231, member: 1262"]Vintage thread resurrection time! Was at an estate auction recently with several tables full of large binders and Rubbermaid totes full of modern collector stamps. The auctioneer sold choice of any binder or box on the table and the first couple sold for $45 & $35 to a couple of dealers. After that they couldn't get a bid for $10 each so they grouped the rest by table and sold each entire table load for $15 x 2. Kind of sad, the collector had obviously put a lot of time, effort, and money into those neatly constructed binders full of stamps but today they like so many other over hyped mass produced "collectables" have little value on the secondary market. *** Note: Some 19th century stamps still are very popular with collectors and are worth considerable amounts. The high end of the stamp market is still fairly healthy.[/QUOTE]
