Are world stamps valuable?
On One Hand: They can be valuableWorld stamps can be extremely valuable. However, as with domestic stamps, itl depends on what stamps you get and how common they are. Take the world famous “Penny Black” stamp, for example. This stamp is considered a “world stamp” since it’s from Great Britain and not the United States, and it is quite valuable.On the Other: Just because it’s foreign doesn’t make it valuableOn the other hand, if your cousin who is spending the summer in Paris sends you a postcard with a cool-looking stamp on it, then your stamp is worth well less than a brand new stamp of the same type since it’s current and not of a limited edition.Bottom LineAs with anything, the value of stamps is determined by how much someone else would pay for it. If you get a stamp from a small country where few people from your area visit, it may be worth more because it’s unusual. Certainly if the stamp is collectible because it’s old, and there are limited numbers available, it’s worth more.
