Hi, I

some difficulties to understand what type of question. Get a collection to expect to make money? If so, know that the stamp has no future in this field. There's nothing interesting financially. Only your enjoyment of the collector is important, and it will cost money, like any hobby, depending on your financial situation and your desires.

Every room has a huge interest, if it makes you happy when you look at it and depending on the past that it represents. Discover a trick, obliteration, we sometimes make long journeys (this is the wealth). I for my share of parts "which are worth little" monetarily speaking, but that to me is more valuable than the parts "so-called rare. A nice letter to my mother when she was 10 years old has more value than a rare stamp expo Doe "somewhere in which I give a damn," whose only value is fatten some speculators who would dictate our interests.

Philately is a wonder, a search, a discovery. There is no need to get rare items only recognized by all. There are many rare items current market value. They do not interest anyone, because not valued at fair prices, and yet are more difficult than rare coins.

In summary, an interesting piece is a piece that you like and you want to see in your collection. Its market value is anecdotal. I think a lot of value very popular today will not be worth much in a few years or decades. For example, merchants were selling to the coast forty years ago, today they sell at 50% or less, tomorrow it will be 20%.

Get pleasure, that's all.


Sincerely, SD
