    I certainly agree that the vast majority of collections can be valued on gut feeling with only a casual flick through. Better collections need a much more detailed inspection though. In just the few seconds we are given of each collection we are shown. I had fun guessing what my valuation of it would be if I had a couple of minutes to look instead of the few seconds of each here. The first collection is only worth a few pence and nothing like the £20 mentioned. The second album showed useful oddments from China and Belgium suggesting there could be some value overall and my estimate is £30. The stamps in the envelope worthless. The cigar box has some older stamps but poor condition so probably under a pound. The scattering of 20 random covers shown are probably worth about £5 but have potential to hold something of more value so worth checking more carefully. The album shown with early GB on first page is probably worth about £150 with the pages shown and the narrative given but has the potential to be more if I could look at it properly. However the 1d black with 3 margins is only worth about half of the valuation given of £50. This collection could be sold at auction with an estimate of £100 to £200 but could fetch more depending on what else is hidden in its pages.

    You can be sure, that H. never has seen this album. He was not interested in stamps, only that he got some money for the H-stamps in 1941/44. But even this was not that important to him. You were talking about the Berghof, but this building was bombed at the end of the war and near everything was destroyed. Besides this there were many buildings around the Berghof. The set from Seychellen you showed is from 1952. When it was looted, why should someone include this set afterwards? H. was very national and if he was interested (no, he wasn´t), he would collected something from Austria or the Olympic games 1936 or something of his beloved German Reich. The style of the album could be from that era (the writtin and the colors in red/black), the maps I don´t think. They are not from 1941, especially the frontiers of Germany. Elsaß-Lothringen is not included and I think, the frontier of Poland is too far in the East, but I´m not that strict to it. With this I doubt it is an album from the Berghof or even from 1941 (because of the newer sets) and the maps which are not correct for 1941. By the way: They liked it very accurate at that time, so they would take some more precised maps. You see this sometimes in albums of that era when they have maps in there - very precise. I assume this album is from the 1950s or even later.

    I was flagged to this page by Stanley Gibbons. Are you able to do a valuation on the COMPLETE set of PHQ cards up until 2023 when my husband (the collector) passed away,. I also have the Year books Royal Mail Special Stamps, books 1 through to 30 complete with all the mint stamps and in their original sleeves? If this is a possibility, can I email you privately and give you more details and photos please?

    • @peterhugo2078
      @peterhugo2078 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sad to say they are worth very little now and most certainly a lot less than he paid for them. The mint stamps hold most of the value and are worth about 60% of their postage face value. The first 3 year books from 1984 to 1986 do have a little more value though. PHQ cards have been hard to even give away in recent years but I have noticed a slight upturn in the market in the last year or two. But they are still hard to sell except very cheaply. The first 9 in the series up to early 1975 are scarcer though and are quite desirable so can attract some interest. Dealers are not interested in such material though as they take up valuable space being bulky to store and are hard to sell. If you really want to sell them for the best price without much effort on your part, I highly recommend selling them to what will probably be a collector at an established and well respected auction. There are many to choose from, some more reputable than others. I highly recommend Corbitts based in Newcastle as I have bought and sold thousands of pounds worth of stamps from them over the last 15 years and have found them a pleasure to deal with. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    This was exactly what I was looking for! I inherited my father's collection and he had several different albums - some 4 inches thick. I find them unwieldly. Hence, I am looking for ways to break the collection down into multiple binders of more manageable width - say, by Year, country, topic, etc. The REGENT spring load looks interesting in this regard. Might SCOTT & H.E. Harris pages fit in the REGENT, along with the Stanley Gibbons pages?

    I've watched a few videos from Stanley Gibbons as I've recently decided to actually "buy" stamps (and a stockbook and tweezers.) This is the most excited I've seen Oscar Young be in a video. The ups and downs throughout, all while he apparently navigated his own thoughts and feelings, was quite enthralling. It was the first video I saw from Stanley Gibbons that didn't come across as a simple explanation or sales device. There was genuine excitement behind it. I'd love to see more videos like this!

  • @radeknovak1243
    @radeknovak1243 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very nice video. There was one very important point mentioned there: "Sometimes the catalogue value does not reflect the current market value" - well, this is a huge problem for all of the less experienced collectors. Good to know that Stanley Gibbons is aware of it, however, it is surprising that you do not do anything against it. New catalogues are being made every year, but the real stamp value is not reflected there... Of course, I know, you are also a dealer and I fully understand the reason why the value of the stamps has never really been corrected in your catalogues. And to be fair, this is a problem of ALL catalogue issueres (Scott, Michel, Yvert...) Anyway, thank you for the video, very helpful for all unexperienced collectors. 👍
