What are my stamps worth? - An Introduction To Stampworld.com A Free Online Stamp Price Catalog

Other Good Resources are:

Just a word of warning about getting one's hopes up. There are lots of click bait sites and videos out there which list "10 ten most expensive stamps" or "Million dollar stamps to search for", or something similar. often those are one of a kind stamps or otherwise very rare varieties. sometimes those rare stamps look almost exactly like another very common stamp to the point only experts can tell the difference.

Note:
I am aware the select box options in the filter menu I did not show up in the video for some reason I will figure out why and correct if possible in future videos.

Thanks for taking us through this wonderful website! I see a few things that I might not have noticed just putzing around on my own. Regarding numbers from the official catalogues... I don't know about Michel, Yvert & Teller, etc, but Scott is VERY protective of theirs! About 20 years ago they sent a cease and desist warning to someone who was using Scott catalogue numbers on album pages he sold. He had no idea this would happen, so he had to remove the numbers from everything.

I would love to see a video on printing types. For instance I had stamps from Rhodesia starting with #223 that are photo and #223A that are Litho that I cannot tell the difference. I also have Manchucko #83-100 which are engraved but 158-63 are litho same problem.

Come Catalogo non è completo. Il contenuto da la sensazione delle informazioni che propone hanno delle contradizioni che nella filatelia non trova molto spazio. In poche parole il nome catalogo non si nota in esso. Dare un suggerimento è passabile nella foto, nei colore (a volte è vago) non avendo una tavola di riferimento; nella data di emissione è abbastanza fedele, dei particolari come il colore o filigrane avendo lo stesso valore è poco convincente. Non ha Servizi ne Tasse e altre informazioni in essere. Ecc.
