New Wholesale-Priced Stamps at The Stamp People

The Stamp People, an online stamp shop that sells wholesale-priced bulk stamps as well as vintage and recent stamp sets and singles, received several new shipments of US kiloware and US bulk off paper stamps within the last few days. These stamp mixtures are now available at great prices on their website at www.thestamppeople.com

The new stamps, which came from several different suppliers, are from a wide time period and include stamps from the 1800s all the way through 2009.

The Stamp People are known for providing stamp collectors with bulk stamp mixes that have far fewer duplicates than the mixtures that can be bought from other stamp dealers. Stop by their website today. You'll be sure to find something you'll want.

Stamp Finds


Some people say that stamp box lots and mixtures never contain any good finds. We guess everything is relative, but considering the low cost of most box lots, it's our opinion that the potential for finding quality stamps and uncommon stamp varieties in stamp mixtures, for a very low price, is surprisingly high.

The Stamp People sell low-priced stamp kiloware and stamp mixtures and assortments along with classic stamps, vintage stamps and recent stamps and sets from the US and around the world. One of their customers recently wrote to inform us of a nice find that was in a box lot purchased from The Stamp People.

The stamp was Scott # E1, the first Special Delivery stamp issued by the US, from 1885. It's not extraordinarily valuable - it's catalog value is about $60 - but the buyer only paid about $10 for the US stamp assortment it was found in.

We'd say that was a pretty good return on the buyer's investment.
Collecting Rare Stamps


Investing in rare stamps is a normal occurrence that's undertaken by intermediate to advanced stamp collectors. Rare stamps are tangible investments with potential similar to collecting art. But in addition to their investment potential, rare stamps also give their owners a great deal of pleasure. A sense of accomplishment. A sense of completion.

The value of any given stamp is directly proportional to its scarcity, in other words, how rare (or not) it is. Many stamps, such as the one cent British Guiana black on magenta, the Treskilling Banco Yellow stamp or the US one cent Z Grill, are extremely rare because only one (or just a few) were ever produced, and even fewer survive today. Because there are so few, and because so many stamp collectors covet them, the value of these stamps - and those in similarcircumstances - is very high.

Collecting rare stamps is a challenge, and can be quite expensive. But not always - some are found in a neglected old desk drawer or in an attic. Rare stamp varieties can even be found in stamp kiloware or off-paper stamp assortments. The lucky collector who finds a rare stamp this way is lucky indeed - if he or she decides to sell it, they might be able to live out their lives on the proceeds.

Stamp Collecting Can Yield High Gains As A Long-Term Investment

Stamp collecting, especially vintage stamps, can be an investment that steadily grows in value over the years. Stanley Gibbons, the large London stamp dealer, reported that postage stamp prices roughly doubled between 2000 and 2006. Not bad when you consider that's only 7 years. And Stanley Gibbons believes that over the last 50 years the average gain in value of postage stamps has been about 9.5% per year.

It's crucial to do business with reputable stamp dealers, especially when investment gains are one of the goals of a stamp collector. The Stamp People, an established online stamp dealer, take great pride in their integrity and provide superior customer service, thorough descriptions and accurate pictures. Visit The Stamp People today and see what they have to offer - you'll find everything from classic vintage stamps worth hundreds of dollars to inexpensive stamps priced below 20 cents each, to bulk stamp lots and wholesale priced stamp mixtures.
