I am trying to locate any stamp collectors or any one that collects stamps-please help me?

Question

I have a large collection of Pricess Diana Stamps That have Certificate of Authenticity from the International Collectors Society. I also have a collectors stamp of PResident Bush 2000 Mint Souvenir Stamp. Am looking for any stamp collectors I may contact

Answer 1

As the previous answerer indicated, these items are of very little interest to stamp collectors. Try listing them on eBay in some other category - NOT stamps - where people interested in Diana souvenirs might look. That's really what they are - they were never intended for postal use.

...That's still not a hobby. The hobby would then be avoiding stamps, getting mad at stamps, and having long rants about stamps. Still nothing about the "not collecting stamps". Sorry theist... try a bit of logic for this next time, okay? Also, I've never used that argument. Atheism isn't a religion simply because it does not fit the definition. Seriously, you have to be the most moronic kind of person to think it does. Atheism: Disbelief in the existence of God or gods Religion: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods

Answer 5

I am a coin, currency, and collectibles dealer who dealt in stamps for around 10 years or so. How do I put this delicately? They aren't probably going to have much value, and here's why. The " International Collectors Society", although the name sounds really impressive, is not any type of government related agency whatsoever; it's just one of many mass marketers that (in this case) rode the coattails of the Princess Diana memorabilia craze and pumped out a lot of these commemorative sets...in short, there are a lot of them out there, and they were bought at fairly high prices compared to their actual value.

These guys take relatively common items, put them in fancy holders, publicize that they are only making X amount of them, and try to create a false sense of rarity and value. Don't feel bad; these kind of places do this with coins/medals/ plates/ figurines/ whatever else they can make a buck on.

As a rule of thumb, I tell people that if you see stuff like this that's advertised in national publications, on TV, etc., and it's not from an official government mint or philatelic source (and trust me, these aren't), then stay away. If they are touting these things as rare limited edition investment-grade collectibles, then why do they have enough quantity of them to advertise them nationally?

The term "rare" implies that there are very few of them, so if that were actually true, a) they wouldn't have thousands upon thousands available to sell, and b) they wouldn't bother wasting the advertising costs, as they wouldn't need to advertise them. Real rarities can be sold in a heartbeat through private sale or auction.

Another thing I love is the "Certificate of Authenticity". Everyone, their brother, and their dog prints COA's with their stuff anymore. This means absolutely nothing; if you bother to read one, all it will basically say is "We guarantee that this is a stamp". Anyone can make such a claim. Big deal.

I'm not trying to hurt your feelings here; just trying to hopefully educate the public at large about things of this nature, which are presented as rarities but are basically just barely skirting the territory of outright fraud.
