Quick Answer: How are these items valued?

Stamp buyback valuation primarily considers the era, region, edition, whether it's a complete set, perforations, gum, and preservation. First-day covers, commemorative covers, miniature sheets, full sheets, and old envelopes can be appraised in batches, but avoid tearing or re-sticking them into albums yourself.

Era and Edition Hong Kong, Chinese, Macau, or foreign stamps need to be sorted by year and issue type.
Complete Set Complete sets, full sheets, first-day covers, and those preserved in original albums are usually easier to value.
Condition and Preservation Yellowing, moisture damage, creases, missing perforations, and gum damage will affect the buyback price.

Common FAQs

Which stamps do you buy?

We buy early Chinese stamps (such as the Large Dragon, Small Dragon, and Longevity issues), New China stamps (especially Cultural Revolution stamps and Monkey stamps), classic Hong Kong stamps, and rare foreign stamps. Rare stamps in good condition are highly valuable.

How much does the condition of a stamp affect its price?

It has a huge impact. Mint Never Hinged (MNH) stamps are the most valuable; cancelled stamps come next; damaged, missing-perforation, or thinned stamps will see a significant drop in value.

What is the market like for the 1980 Gengshen Monkey stamp?

The Monkey stamp is the "king" of New China stamps, and a single mint stamp is already worth a considerable amount. An uncut sheet of 80 Monkey stamps is an even more prized treasure, commanding a sky-high price.

How do I sell my stamps?

WhatsApp 94530784 with clear photos of the front of the stamps. If you have a full sheet, a set, or multiple stamps, please photograph them all. We will provide a quote on the same day.

What are your payment methods for stamp buying?

Payment is made on the spot after face-to-face inspection. We accept cash or FPS. For rare stamps, bank transfer can also be arranged.
