Stamp Questions.
I'm new at stamp collecting and have a couple questions.
Using the prices in the Scott Catalogue as a starting point to guage the value of a stamp, I was wondering what corrections to apply in the following two cases. I was wondering how much someone discounts the value for a mint stamp because it is hinged? Does the fact that it might be a Light, Regular, or Heavy hinge have a significant impact on the general percentage adjustment you make? I do understand that early issues as noted in the Scott Catalogue are listed as a hinged price. The second question is about CTO stamps. How does one figure out what they might be worth by using the Scott Catalogue. It is obviously a 'used' stamp, but is it worth as much as a used stamp that really went through the mail? It is worth more, or less? Again, what general rule of thumb percentage does someone apply to come up with a value? The third question is: How do you put a stamp that peels of into a stamp album? Do you just leave it on the paper it comes with, or can you put is on a piece of glassine? Thanks. |
