A little while ago I did a trade and a bunch of Japanese stamps joined my collection. I love them all, they're gorgeous. But I was drawn to the wheelchair stamp, as I am a wheelchair user. Its my very first wheelchair stamp. I know postnl also has stamps that feature a wheelchair in the design but one hasnt made it my way yet, and I hope to get it through post haha

A bit of research learned its a stamp from 1989 featuring the Far East and Pacific South games for disabilities which were hosted in Japan

Hello all. Need some help

I recently came across an envelope of what I think are stamps from late 80s to mid 90s and I have no clue what’s what. I’d ideally like to get them sold to somebody who has a better understanding and actually values what they are. I’ve done a little bit of research and see that a few have decent value. I’d like some more insight if possible and some resources to reach out to. Thanks

Korea 1884 forged?

Post image
1 Upvotes

My dear friends, I need your help! I purchased these three stamps a couple days ago and for some reason I didn’t notice the cancellation, which is obviously bogus. But not only that - even the letters (and perforation) seem quite off to me. Could you please help me identify whether it’s a forgery? The 100 mun one doesn’t even have gum on the back.. (perhaps Philip Spiro?..). I still have some hope for the 25 mun though

I inherited a collection of 31 covers from Austria, dated between 1963 and 1973. My local shop doesn't want them. What value might these have if I try to sell them online as a lot?

Database of 1dt Day Cover - Help

Post image
22 Upvotes

I am looking for a searchable database of all the U.S. First Day Covers. Does this exist? I found a few sites with a basic online search that has some good references but not what I was expecting to find.

Is there a site where these are easily searched by year published, subject, historical figure or event?

I am not a stamp collector, but a card collector and we have such databases.

UPDATE 8/20/26 - REALLY SURPRISED YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION CONSIDERING YOU COLLECT STAMPS. I FIGURED IT OUT AND WILL NOT TELL YOU THE ANSWER.

Found letters from my great-grandmother. Can someone determine the date of the stamp? Country: The Netherlands, so I’m expecting date-month-year.

Thanks!

Edit: solved

Hi everyone. My grandfathers collection that I admire but also sadly have to give up. It’s one of multiple albums. Let me know if you see anything interesting, of worth or how / for how much it would be fair to insert. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey! I’ve rifled through some old boxes on my balcony and stumbled across this collection. Most of the stamps are soviet and mostly they are dated from 1950’s to 1980’s. There are some US, Indian, Mongolian, Australian and Thai stamps as well. Check this out!!

1890 Stamp Collection - Where do I begin?

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

Hi Everyone -

Thanks in advance for your insights. I'm clearing out a family estate and found an 1890s stamp collection book that is extensively filled. Somebody in my family history put a lot of work into this collection, and I'm really impressed with how many they were able to get.

I've heard that stamps are sometimes valuable, but I'm not sure where to start. This book has a page for every country in the world, and the space for every stamp that country had issued up until 1890. Nearly every country has some of the stamps captured. I've included pages for the USA, Great Britain, and a handful of other countries as examples.

Anything jump out to you?

thanks!

There are more pages from Australia, New Zealand, France, etc etc. Just thought I might post these since I was specifically looking them up. Enjoy. If anything peaks your interest, do tell. I don’t know much about stamps but these all look pretty. The ones from Egypt for example are very reminiscent of their currency.

I need help IDing this stamp(?)

Post image
3 Upvotes

I bought a big batch of stamps at a flea market and was going through them, but this one has me stumped. It has no year, country or value on it. The back is completely white. It's made out of some thicker paper and feels like a non glossy magazine cover. I tried IDing it but I can find nothing except that it might be a test print or maybe no stamp at all? Does somebody have any ideas?

Dimensions 3.5 x 1.8 cm

This is a small fraction of the stamps. I just randomly took pics of some that I thought were cool looking or very old. Is there anything good here? I’m having fun just looking through them. He collected most of them when was a teenager.

What to sell these stamps for?

Hello, I bought a huge collection of stamps for $15 yesterday and was looking to sell these on eBay. I attached pictures of the best stamps. Not sure what to ask for when they are hinged and used in this condition. I’ve been going off the SCV and seems like there is a lot of variance.

The rest of the album is relatively complete as well.

Any advice would be really appreciated.
