Scripophily (Stock Certificates) & Stamps (Philately)
Many of the same rules for selling coins apply to stock certificates and stamps;
some rare items are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and are heavily counterfeited.
Many stamps and stock certificates have little or no value to collectors, but there
are always exceptions; some stocks are collected for their elaborate artwork or
for the signatures on the documents, and some gain popularity when a scandal hits
or the company goes out of business.
What Sells
- Original stamps and certificates (no restoration of printing or glue)
- Rare stamps and certificates (i.e. of unique quality, subject matter, issuer, or
signatory)
- Faultless stamps and certificates (perfect condition, no creases or stains, etc.)
- Stamps or certificates that have been authenticated
