Having been a collector of them for so long, I have a good notion of what I'd pay for a particular piece, and consequently, the value of it. Having said that though, I understand that "value" or "worth" are relative terms. I've bought "junk" stamps a number of times myself only because I felt there was some potential importance to them. I saw them as a research opportunity or as an example of a particular style I'd never seen before.</p><p>The bottom line here of course is to pay what you're comfortable paying for something.
