Damaged Stamps - Why Buy Them, and What to do With Them

Most stamp collectors accumulate damaged stamps more or less by accident. It seems that there are always at least one or two damaged stamps in any bulk stamp mixture we see (we're not knocking that - it's a great percentage if there are hundred or thousands of stamps!). And some collectors actually buy damaged stamps on purpose.

What do you do with damaged stamps?

We'll answer this question in detail tomorrow, but for now, please be aware that there are several things that you can do with them, some of which serve very good purposes. Don't just throw them out!
