I need someone who really knows stamps to take a look at the pictures of my stamp collection from, around the world. This stamp expert, called a philatelist will tell me what each stamp is and what it is worth today. I want to know the value of my worldwide stamp collection. I am looking for a stamp expert to do this for me.
About the Collection:
Estimated Size: Approximately 150 stamps.
I have a bunch of stamps from around the world. The stamps are from lots of countries like India, Pakistan, Italy, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Kabul, Ceylon, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England and the Netherlands. These stamps are really interesting because they are from such a range of places. The collection of stamps includes stamps from India stamps from Pakistan stamps from Italy stamps from USA stamps from Canada stamps from France stamps from Germany stamps from Austria stamps from Kabul stamps from Ceylon stamps from China stamps from Czechoslovakia stamps from Denmark stamps from England and stamps, from the Netherlands.
I want to make it clear that the stamps I have are in bad shape. They are, in poor condition. I know this will lower their value. I am looking for an honest idea of what my stamps are worth. I want someone to tell me the value of my stamps.
My Goal: I want to know what I actually have in my collection and find out what it is really worth. I do not need an insurance appraisal. What I am looking for is a list that tells me what each item is worth based on what kind of shape it is, in. I want to get a market value for my collection.
Scope of Work:
The person we choose to work with will:
Receive high-resolution, clear photographs of all stamps (approximately 150), organized by country if possible.
Identify each stamp (country, catalog number – e.g., Scott, Stanley Gibbons, Michel, Yvert).
Be honest when you look at the condition. Note any problems you see like spots, creases, tears or big cancellation marks, on the stamps.
I need to figure out how much each stamp is worth or groups of stamps like a bunch of used stamps from Germany that are in bad shape. The price I come up with has to be fair and take into account that the stamps are not in condition. I should look at what similar stampsre selling for in the real world like on eBay or at auctions, where they are selling stamps that are also damaged. I should not just use the prices that are listed in catalogs because those are for stamps that're in perfect condition. I want to find out what people are actually paying for stamps like these so I can give a price for the stamps or groups of stamps like a lot of 10 common used Germany stamps that are, in poor condition.
Deliver a final, organized spreadsheet or document listing: Country, Description, Catalog #, Condition Notes, and Estimated Market Value.
I want to point out the stamps that're really valuable even though they are not, in great shape. These stamps are worth a lot of money because of what they're not because of how they look. I will highlight the stamps that have a lot of value like the rare ones or the ones that are hard to find even if they are torn or worn out. The value of these stamps is what makes them special, not their condition.
Freelancer Requirements:
