Stamp Mystery Boxes - Days of Fun


Sometimes called stamp mystery lots, stamp box lots or stamp boxes, stamp mystery boxes delight stamp collectors throughout the world. Usually fairly inexpensive (sometimes very inexpensive), they provide a great deal of entertainment to collectors because their exact composition is unknown when they're purchased.

You never know what you'll get in a stamp mystery box, but that's their attraction. Often the stamp dealer who sells a mystery box to you won't know what's in it either - stamps and stamp-related material such as covers and souvenir sheets are tossed into a box until it's judged by the dealer to be the right size for what is paid for it, without regard for the value of its contents. This means that a stamp mystery box may contain material that's all pretty common, or it may contain some material that has a fairly high value. You never know.

Stamp forums are full of tales about collectors finding a very valuable stamp in a mystery box. I have no doubt that this does happen sometimes, because I began my stamp collection (many years ago) by buying mystery boxes and wholesale stamp lots. And I always found at least a few really nice stamps in them, as well as plenty of more common stamps to fill holes in my collection.

Generally available in a variety of prices, stamp mystery boxes provide hours of fun, and sometimes some great finds, for stamp collectors around the world. Visit The Stamp People to order a stamp mystery box in a size of your choice, and get days of delightful enjoyment in return.
